Friday, @Green Hell Mustang and I dove into fixing Franks Pulseing Brake Pedal. I couldn't of done it with out him.

Installed the following parts:

• Driver and Passenger Beck/Arnley Calipers ( OEM Castings)
• EBC 6000 Green Pads
• Slee's SS brake lines (7)
• Aisin Master Cylinder
• New Dot4 Brake fluid.
• Machined Rotors

Also, set the hubs to 10 ft lbs on the inside nut and 47 ft lbs on the outside nut.

Did all that fix it?

Yes, stops better and smooth now. I didn't realize how bad it had actually got. Pedal is still a little more spongey that I would prefer, but I think another bleeding session will fix that.

The EBC's seem to be stopping better now than when I first put them on .

We've got to do the back brakes next. That will most likely help the pedal sponginess. Thankfully those are easy to do.

Agreed. When I get my core deposit back for the front, I am going to order the rear.

Nice work fellas! Wish I could have been there.

More notes to help me remember all PM and maintenance I do to Frank. Nothing exciting to report, just finishing up the last few items to address on my brakes.

Friday the rear brakes received some attention. Due to availability on Friday, OE replacement rear rotors were installed on Saturday.

• New Beck/Arnley reman calipers.
• Advics rear brake pads.
• OE rear rotors.

A order was placed with FAT for other odds and ends to be addressed.

• The Lug nuts currently on Frank are mismatched and the cheap ones from the parts store where the washer falls off. 24 OEM lug nuts were ordered to replace all current ones. ...yep OCD
• 11213-66021 Valve Cover Gasket. Valve cover gasket started slowly seeping oil from the front about a year ago. I'm tired of cleaning oil off the front.
• 90982-08227 Fusible Link. Glove Box Spare
• 82670-60040 Junction Box. Glove box Spare
• 16711-66031 Fan Shroud. Current one is cracked in several places and become brittle due to age.
• 87240-60140 Heater Control Valve. Spare

Here’s the paint code. I had a local Napa mix it. I bet you could order it in a rattle can.
