Still working on 2157-
The passenger side front wheel caliper was putting a lot of drag on
the wheel due to the piston not fully retracting. After a trip to
the local NAPA, we ordered item 42-3009 ( Rayloc). It fit OK, but
the casting boss was at a slight angle, which totally changed the
location of my brake line. Steering movement would have interfered
against the line- not good. I returned the caliper and was lucky to get
my original one back. They ordered me 2 rebuild kits. I will hone the
cylinders. I just learned my lesson on keeping all original parts, even
if it means paying a core charge. Also, can anyone out there tell me
the specified brake fluid to use? I remember reading that some types
are so incompatible, that a mix could result in having to replace
everything. I am still hoping to get the car inspected this month.
