Howdy, boys:
I redid my disc brakes on the ol' SM because they were occasionally sticking. Found corroded balls, lots of rust and some broken springs. Pads/discs themselves are nearly new. Cleaned, bead-blasted and replaced parts as needed. Adjusted links to the pedals per the blue ribbon manual.
Now, the pedals will depress on the verge of "too far"; maybe 4 inches before they truly actuate the brakes. I think it is time to mill the housings. What I would like to know is a ball-park figure to give the machine shop as far as how much to mill off the edges. .020"? .030"? How much? Those with experience with regard to this, please feel free to share your knowledge.
As always, thanks to all respondents in advance.....
