Brake stuck

Update on the brakes...I did find out that the piston was bad in the caliper on the driver's side front. I just finished installing new calipers and brake pads on both front wheels. I also had bought the new rubber brake lines, so they got installed as well. Brake lines came from AutoZone...just over 20 bucks for both. I ended up getting the calipers and pads at PepBoys since I had a 20% off coupon for brake parts (one of those pain in the ass rewards cards actually made itself worthwhile). I went for the higher end ceramic pads, so the total for those parts was a bit under 70 dollars. Toss in a can of brake cleaner and another pack of those pesky bushings to rebuild a window FordMoCo window motor and I think I was still under 100....yay!

The car is all back together after wifey helped bleed the brakes. Took a gentle shakedown cruise around the neighborhood and everything seems to be peachy. I want to thank everyone for the input. This being my first time (would you call that a brake job virgin?) I was a bit apprehensive. I was really surprised at how simple it all was though. The 92 Fleetwood Brougham is still donning it's factory brakes and at 54k on the clock I know they will be needing attention, so it looks like I will have another weekend project.

 

Another happy ending! Brakes seem to be one thing that not only got better, doing the work got easier. Removing and replacing all those springs and do-hickies used to be a scary tough job. So much that many people gave up part way and had it finished by others.
Brakes are the number one important thing on a car. Even ahead of steering. Even if the steering goes out you can stop before you hit something.

 

MW pistons do it glad its all sorted now you are able to stop
