Did you replace the master cyl. and or the hoses to the calipers?? If you open a bleeder do the rotors free up?? What about if you open the line at the master for the front brakes??

This is what I did in my Cutlass.. I don't have a good picture of the finished product that shows it all together but you can get an idea of what I did.

Sure sign me up too. Thanks.

A way to check them while they are off the vehicle is to grab the flange and feel for any play, souldn't be any. Also grab the flange again and spin it back and forth putting some pressure on it. It should feel smooth as you do this, if you feel any roughness or catching then theres a good...

Is the parking brake stuck on??? What did you use to push the pistons back with? Also did the slides move when you had the caliper off?

Hmm... No real way to check the converter that I know of except to send it to the manufacturer or another place that can cut it apart to look at it. What transmission do you have behind it? Has it had any problems? Was the converter fully seated in the tranny when you took it out? I've also seen...

Hmmm... it actually starts to apply itself?!?!? Almost sounds like the booster is causing the problem. Anyway you can get one to try out or would you have to buy new?

Welby, you said the brake pedal actually sticks down after you release it? Any idea what vacuum booster was put on there? How much vacuum is the engine pulling at idle? 2500 rpm's? The hoses and calipers can cause the brakes to stick but that is normally that wheel or sometimes both, i've...

Thanks. :D

Sweet video. Is there a link to the other 6? I would like to check them out. Thanks.

Okay thanks. Cool. I'll be putting skinnies on it for the races and using some American Racing 15"( can't remember the name of them) rims for street driving.

So the LS1 brakes won't fit under 15" wheels? Hmmm... guess i'll be putting the S-10 brakes on the Cutlass then. :)

How's the braking? Did you have to add an adjustable proportioning valve or does it seem to work pretty good without one?

Congrats on the first place in the show Jamie.:D Sucks that the tranny went out again.:(

Well yes and no. You remove the 4 bolts from the back side and the big nut on the drive axle. Then you have to normally use a slide hammer to get them off. Normally a PITA to do, and I have seen some bearing seperate because they are just rusted in there so bad. If your going to have them...

Some small hairline cracking shouldn't cause any problems as long as it's not going all the way through the lining. If the pads look good thickness wise and aren't seperating from the backing you should okay. Sounds like they may have gotten hot at one time. About the only way to see and...

Yup 38 ft-lbs. Thats basicly for all years too, not just 87.

There are no "bolt in" stock versions of the 9", least not that I have ever seen. You can buy them bolt in from aftermarket companys, but thats about it without doing some cutting and welding. From what i've seen if you can't cut down a stock houseing yourself, your better off getting an...

Wow those look like nice pieces. How are they on the street? With the ball joint it calls for did you have to hone out the spindal at all or did it just slide in? The price isn't too bad either considering your paying about $400 for the hotchkis ones.

Hmm.. not sure if it's too late or not but on my Cutlass I normally ran about 12 psi in the passanger bag. I didn't have one in the drivers side so I would probably just put in the 5 psi it recommends as the minimum. I would start from there and see what happens.
