A Tip For Brake Pad Replacement.
When I posted for the first time I asked about rusted brake lines.
https://chevroletforum.com/forum/tah...e-lines-85646/
Here is a follow up on another part of my repairs to my brakes.When I went to replace the brake pads I noticed that my pads were all binding.This was caused by a heavy accumulation of rust under the clips, on which the brake pads ride.This caused the pads to bind and not ride freely as they should.All of the videos that I watched never mentioned this as an issue.Before I replaced the pads I took the time to sand the brake caliper,under the clips, to remove the rust.Upon completion of the pad installation I found they rode more smoothly on the clips.
Anyway, I thought that I would pass on this information and hopefully save some other members from binding pads because of rust accumulating under these clips.
