Hi All,
I just finished putting on rebuilt rear brake calipers done by PMB. Also, new braided steel brake lines and set of new Textar pads on all 4 wheels (1975 914). I took it out to do the “bedding” break-in process and I noticed it was pulling to the right. So, (after doing cool down slow driving)when I got home I checked temperature of rotors. Both back rotors were about 125 degrees. However front right was about 240 degrees. BUT front left was only about 85 degrees. To a novice like me seems like front left is not working. Any suggestions on diagnostic procedures or what to check out. Thanks PDXBob |
