The brake parts were collected and the old ones were scraping metal-on-metal so it was a good time to make the switch. Used the time to clean off the rear control arms, repaint, clean and strip the brake shield and calipers, and install the new cross drilled discs.
Pics below. Good timing since my trip back from Watkins today involved a near collision with a fawn! Stopped so close to the little guy I bumped him a bit. He did walk away from it. I noticed the brake shimmy dissipated for the most part with the new setup.
Wheels off and jackstands on. Old disk still installed and clearing off all the crud and rust.
After sanding, rust treatments and priming with high temp semi-gloss black....
Newly painted calipers, new cross drilled disks and e-brake components (always hate the spring install!).
Wheels back on with new setup. Deer tested, driver approved....
