OH! BTW - That 59 rust bucket that you posted a photo of is one ugly SOB with that bumper on the front of it. Most likely explains why you don't...
Your ignorance is self inflicted by posting something as childish as you just did. BTW- I had a brother, not a sister. Do you have some type of...
BRAKE BIAS on a four wheel drum brake car is controlled in the initial engineering (regardless of MC type). The front brakes are larger and more...
Not an ignorant question. SYSTEM DESIGN and period also has a lot to do with it. GM design varies with FORD for instance. You mix the two systems...
Now how can I have a nice day when you are spewing non-sense to the rest of the board? Why do you think a METERING VALVE is used on DISC/DRUM?...
And I should never work on brakes?
And it keeps on giving ... Go here - https://www.brakes-shop.com/brakepedia/general/brake-bias-and-performance And scroll down to - The...
It strikes me as to how a casual conversation here can quickly turn into a food fight. Instead of sharing and discussing something, all start the...
BJR, post: "The pads do not retract, they are knocked back a few thousands by the rotor runout. Nothing in the brake system retracts the pads, no...
So in your world, the caliper pistons do not retract. Kinda expensive for continual pad/rotor replacement isn't it?
And there is mostly bad. And this is not the only thread here that gives bad information. It is just like a plague. I see no humor as these cars...
Are you trying to run this FORUM also? If the thread upsets you, use the IGNORE FEATURE.
And it just keeps going ... Sorta like that crazy rabbit in sunglasses and flip-flops beating on a drum.
REFER TO THIS THREAD - https://www.cometcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14354 AND THIS ONE -...
I guess politeness is defined as how one was raised.
Why are you yelling at me? All I asked is if the COMET has been numbers verified in a what I thought was a polite manner. You did not state that...
As the fluid level drops as the front pads wear, fluid in the reservoir drops as a result of pad wear. So at what point will the reservoir that is...
What claim have I made? I was merely surprised that you saw so many examples. I thought you may have been a plant supervisor.
You actually saw all that rolled off the assembly line(s)? WOW!
You misunderstand. It is not whether the car has a six or eight, but whether it can withstand a high HP/TORQUE ENGINE (6 or 8) without the...
OK, lets try this again. I understand the concept you guys (some) are describing but in reality it doesn't work that way. Within the WC, you...
And you should never work on them due to your misunderstanding of how they work.
So what you are saying in essence, is that brake shoe linings never wear?
There you go. Surprising what a grease gun can do. I remember when FORD put plugs in replacing the fittings. That and a 6000 mile oil change and...
Now let me ask you a question and it is in no way trying to insult you, only answering a question for myself. Have you determined your COMET is a...
Actually the MERC METEOR used a slightly different front suspension than its' FORD brother.
Key sentence here. So what you are saying here is that when fluid volume is insufficient in the MC piston bore, the compensating port in the...
And the PRESSURE RESIDUAL VALVE(s) has no bearing on returning fluid required volume? Not all fluid returns to the MC piston(s) bore. How the...
So what you are telling me is that the MASTER CYLINDER is sealed and there is no reason to add fluid to the drum brake section (DISC/DRUM MC) to...
Let me try it this way. A brake shoe assembly is made from several components. [ATTACH] 1) WEB 2) LINING TABLE 3) BRAKE LINING or PAD Yes,...
