      It looks like the retaining clip for the piston seal isn't seated properly. I also believe that the the little cotter pins holding the brake pad pins should be on the other side of the brake pad; that way the big pin will be all the way in and lot sticking out 1/4"

        Lol that's where the pin was when I pulled it out. Makes sence though.

        That was the only way I could put the seal that made sence. Do you have a photo of one seated properly. These were missing that part when I got them.

        Edit. Unless you mean how the seal slips under the retaining clip. In that case I have already fixed that.

          • Did a tune up and fuel filter on my "new" white 88 carby

            • I'm still cleaning up the "new" 91 under the hood, and detailing a few parts with some chrome paint-

              I knocked a fusible link loose and took a bit wondering why it wasn't firing- relieved it was only that

              silencer and canister both gone now and lines plugged- runs great-

              found the sending unit under the rear carpet- thinking it might be that when it was down- may replace eventually anyway-
              got new cap, rotor wires and gas filter and air filter ready- new plugs are in

              evaluating tire/wheel situation
              have to check heater blower
              and theres a noisy exhaust leak somewhere underneath I haven't been able to check yet

              summer in florida and I'm HOT and TIRED!

                    • Sooo my car died an hour and a half from my house, theres some sort of alignment issue with the serpentine belt so it ate 3-4 belts to get home. Heck on the way back we replaced the stock BP alt with a KLDE one. Heres my friend hammering inside the wheelwell to get clearance for the alt throughbolt.
