I have a couple questions about bleeding my brakes. I replaced all the flexible lines for my brakes with braided stainless steel lines. I put in new rotors all the way around and new pads. I also installed speed bleeders, and have a manual transmission, which I understand uses the same fluid...

I recently had an incident driving home where I felt a strong vibration and pulling to the right while braking, occurred on the freeway. After I got off the freeway I slammed on the brakes a few times to hopefully release it and it did. Got home and the left rotor was very hot, not orange but...

So, here at EBC Brakes We like to offer a free set of pads each month to a randomly selected forum member. In past giveaways We have discussed our first cars, garage and storage spaces, famous people we have met or would like to have met and weird and wonderful vehicles amongst other topics...

I went to drive my car today and it would not go. ('06GT) It acted like the e-brake was stuck (had that issue before), or the wheels were chocked (maybe had that before). I have had a little stickiness to the parking/e-brake on occasion but it was never too bad. Usually after I had washed the...

Tried installing my 4pot brembos and when trying to bleed, the bleeder kit I have has too small of hose and connections. Wont go over the nut of the bleeder screw. Does anyone know what size I need before I grab it and go to home depot? Little bit frustrating. Also looking for some 5-10mm...

I have a 65 with drum brakes in the front and disc brakes in the rear. The other day while retrieving a stuck roomba from under the car I noticed what I believe is the metering valve on top of the rear axle. Two brake lines go into it and a a rubber hose comes off the top. Unfortunately for...

Hey everyone. I have an issue but I am not 100 % sure what it is or what is causing it. Leaving work the other day I rolled my windows down because it was a nice out. I drive past the wall and garages, I hear this slow scraping sound (10-20 mph) reflecting off the wall about 3-5 feet away...

So, I own a 2010 Mustang V6 premium with 20 inch wheels. It has 75xxx miles on it and drives like a Champ. It is also my daily driver and over a period of time I have noticed an increase in the steering wheel shake while braking. Higher the speed I brake more the steering wheel shake it was. So...

What's up with that tuned car in traffic beside me today? It's got a racing seat, sounds like a big turbo, and it's got some pretty serious aero bits. But the brakes are squealing like it hasn't seen service in 30 years. The owner of that fancy fast car wouldn't let their brakes get that bad...

Faded DIY caliper paint. Repaint red or silver? When I bought my car the stock brake calipers were painted red, and have faded over time. I'm indifferent to the red, so should I repaint them red or go with an OEM look and paint them silver?

I'm new. My son picked up a 2000 Roush 4.6. Hydro boost was leaking power steering fluid. No other leaks. Brakes were working fine. Everything was unicorns and rainbows until I replaced the hydro boost. The brake pedal is on the floor. Won't rise up. Power steering bled and works fine. I bought...

Has anyone had issues with a recurring spongey pedal? My car feels like it weighs 6000 lbs when pressing the brake pedal. The pedal felt spongey back in December so I bled the brakes using the 2 person method and about 24oz of motorcraft dot 3. Tons of air came out of the front lines, and none...

Hi everyone, 66 Mustang coupe, 289/auto, factory disc brakes up front, rear drums. So I've had the car fully up on jack stands for 3 or 4 months doing some work to the rear and suspension, but haven't touched the braking system at all. Finally got finished everything I was working on, lowered...

Howdy, I am a bit (actually a lot) confused about something. At the different parts sites, I see them differentiating between V8 steering and 6 cyl steering. I don't understand what the engine size has to do with the steering. I would think that they are independent. My 66 coupe project...

Hey guys, I am currently in the process of buying Brembo takeoff brakes for my Mustang and was wondering if I could get some opinions on the condition of a set that I found. Thanks

I painted one of my calipers so far, but plan to do all four. I used VHT high temp paint - super cleaned with brake cleaner, sand paper and alcohol. Painted twice with primer, three with red, and two with satin clear coat. Came out nice, was hard to put it back together without scraping the...

After replacing both of my rear calipers, I got to thinking... Why on Earth is it so difficult to get the clips on the top of the rear pads up through the window on the caliper, and position everything properly in the bracket? I replace brakes multiple times a week, and service them almost...
