Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

With the hood opening properly I could focus on another urgent issue. The front brakes had started grinding badly.

We had replaced the stock D52 calipers with Wilwood D52 double piston upgrades and something was not right. It seemed as if a caliper was sticking and the pads weren't bedding properly.
I pulled the drivers front as it seemed to be the source of the issue. Take a look at what I discovered and see if you see the problem.

I put eveything back together, and the brakes are working great now. I went for a short cruise at dusk and enjoyed the great feeling of a succesful night in my shop.
