Well… here we are again.
The last set of brakes 🙌
After three rounds, I can honestly say I’m feeling a lot more comfortable with the basics—taking a tire off and putting it back on, knowing which tools to reach for, and understanding how all the brake components fit together.
What’s been interesting (and a little surprising) is how often we’ve run into parts that need replacing—usually meaning a special order—or situations where things aren’t quite as consistent as you’d expect. For example, two different types of front brake hubs… on the same car. That definitely sends us down a research path.
I guess that comes with working on a car of this age.
Still, I find all of it fascinating.
Hoping to have the full brake system wrapped up this weekend… but we’ll see how it goes 😊
