Re: Project: Blank Slate

After we buttoned up the front install, we checked out the rear brakes and thought it would be a good idea to replace them. We also figured it would be a good time to go ahead and replace the rear wheels cylinders. So as Keith headed home for the night, I got to work.

Before you start on the rear install, do yourself a favor and pick up some Brakleen from your local autoparts store. This stuff is the greatest and made the install a lot cleaner.

Now I took the rear brakes a little farther than most would, but I definitely this they turned out great. I pulled each piece and painted the brackets and springs to match the other pieces we installed.
