Joe, you may have already seen this one, but IIRC it's similar for the fronts, but without the integrated parking/emergency brake mechanism of the rears.
http://www.pmbperformance.com/page/page/1624951.htm Eric can answer your questions but he's up at WCR in Tahoe & apparently did a how to demo on rebuilding them this afternoon. BTW - his restorations in here are re-cad plated gold or silver at customer's choice (OE was gold cad), which is more rust resistant than the paint which the lesser commercial rebuilds do & rust within 6-12 months from what I've heard. So you may want to have yours re-plated locally, rather than painting them. After comparing the cost of kits + replating + my time, I decided just to have Eric at PMB restore mine when I'm ready (remember his prices on the website there are less the core h=charge, so net about $100+/- each corner. Are you back in Orange now? |
