Back again as my SC rehab continues. Having gotten my late model SC back home, one of the things I need to address is the individual dif. brakes: right side works, but doesn't hold well. (Glazed disks?) Left side has missing parts: Looking at the brake housing and the rubber boot that sits under it, slopping somewhat toward the rear, I have that. However, the threaded rod emerging from that boot and the long special adjusting nut are both missing. I'm guessing previous owner cranked on that long nut and it was so frozen he snapped the whole rod off. This is the rod that slips through the, "toggle," casting.
So, anyone have parts for late brakes? Also, if I remove the bolts holding the brake housing, is there anything I should know about what is underneath? (I have parts book, so can see that much, but no late model repair manual for these brakes) I'm thinking I can pull that off without having parts flying all over. (Never looked into one before) That would verify if additional damage is evident.
Thoughts? Thanks, Dennis
