Hi Guys,
I have recently replaced all 4 disc in my 1953 Super M.I have tried to adjust them in,but CANNOT get enogh slack out of the linkage to get the free travel in the pedals anywhere close to what the book is calling for.The pedals are REAL sloppy. The expanders work,have good balls in them,NOT flat sided.
The surfaces inside that the disc rub against are smooth and NOT destroyed.
The brakes DO work,but ONLY at a FULL,harsh laying on them !!! One side "locks up/drags" after it is applied and will do so untill you back up and release it.(ME,thinking the expander is traveling PAST its full intened expansion capacity.)
I am thinking I have too much clearance total in between the brake hats/expanders and the disc???(In other words,the expanders are haveing to travell WAY outside their capacity to "scrub up against the disc.)
I was wondering if I could take the "hats"/covers to a machine shop and maybe have them milled down to tighten things up?
I know OEM works on disc brakes,But want WAY too much money to fix things !!!!
Also,since I will have the brakes apart,how much trouble is it to remove those pinions that the brake disc ride on ???? I know there is a seal behind them that is probably WAY overdue to be replaced?
