Reply to "Brake Pads"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

George and Larry, THANKS! Great explanation and photos. Now with winter looming I can try to get that mess of mine sorted for some serious testing in the spring!

And, my Porterfields also had a pin instead of the square factory-style tab. Rotating the rear calliper pistons is just a matter of putting a large flat-blade screwdriver (or proper tool if you have one) into the notch and rotating the piston about 1/8 turn to allow it to be compressed back into the calliper so the new (presumably fatter) pads will clear the disc on reassembly.
