Rear Brake

<< < (3/3)

hughes:
I have used dot4 for two rides now and the color is perfect. That sovles my fluid boiling problem. Now I am fixing the pins that my pads ride on they are groved and the forks or fingers on the left hand side of the caliper they are worn down and are only pulling on the top half of the pad causing them to wear uneven. EBC makes a rear rotor for my 87 that I will order soon. Just undate to issues with my brakes.

demographic:

--- Quote from: hughes ---I'll try that dot4 or 5. I looked today and my brake pad clip is bent and my caliper doesn't want to slide on the pins. I'm going to attack these first. Thanks

DOT 3 and 4 is NOT compatable with DOT 5, don't use DOT 5 cos it might not be compatable with the rubber seals.

DOT 5.1 however is compatable with DOT 3 and DOT 4 so won't damage owt other than paintwork (same as 3 and 4 then) if it gets on it.
5.1 has a higher boiling temperature than 3 and 4.
