Hello Gang,
Saturday is the day I will be tackling the job of putting rear pads on my
'75. I believe it still has the original pads with 63,000 miles. I already
comfirmed that I have the correct,new pads thru this Club...they are D-86 or
83,I forget. I feel that I should replace them now..since I know(I
looked)there is not much "meat" on the pads left...and I don't want to dig
into the elusive,hard-to-find rotors. ('74-5's have big,4-wheel disc brakes
for those of you who didn't know.)
The brake fluid I am planning on using is Valvoline Synthetic in the gold
bottle. I am NOT a fan of using Synthetic fluids/oils in an engine,where it
is more prone to contamination....BUT in a brake system,transmission..or
rear axle,I prefer using it since it rarely gets changed.
Denatured alcohol was mentioned by someone. I guess he uses it to flush
the system before ading new fluid. I am wondering if I should do it...and
what the heck denatured alcohol is. I'm planning on bleeding the whole
sytem....front and back.
Any opinions are welcomed. Thanks.
Steve from Albany,N.Y.

front last year.

inch drum-brakes have 2 wheel-cyls for each side.
