I think my brakes may be toast, I’ve been soaking them in a mix of Marvel Oil and some leftover unused diesel weight truck motor oil for about a month now and I hope they come free. We’ll see if they come loose with some pb blaster too. Do any of you guys know if this fits for front brakes?
https://www.carid.com/racing-power-company/...?vehicle=115386 I know it’s probably not going to be as good as oem, I’m just a poor college student haha. My goal here is simply driving and stopping safely, I’ll do a full restoration in a few years when I’ve got the money to. I’d just hate to miss out on these cars and then have them skyrocket the way 911’s seem to have done. |

Check out this how-to from PMB before giving up on your calipers: https://www.pmbperformance.com/brakehowto.html Lots of tips there for getting pistons unstuck. I had to go the grease route on one but it worked.
+1 for placing a WTB ad. You may be able to get a set of rebuildable cores at a very good price. |
