Indrid cold Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Doing rear brake conversion on my Brat.... while I have it apart should I regrease and put new seals on or am I wasteing time and money for a warm fuzzy feeling that it has new grease and seals?

Otherwise, I would agree with it being a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subieguy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Just did this like 3 weeks ago on my 84 Brat. Everything looked fine after I got the drums off. So I saw no need to do that. Slapped the discs on and down the road I went:popcorn: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Agreed, all of mine have worked right off the junkyard car no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 At least clean up the seals and look for cracks or rot. If the grease is dark, clean it up and re-grease with high temp grease. It's easier to do now then a few days later if it starts to stick or bind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'll second that, the least you can do and only sensible. At least clean up the seals and look for cracks or rot. If the grease is dark, clean it up and re-grease with high temp grease. It's easier to do now then a few days later if it starts to stick or bind.
