Re: Brake bleeding and pedal height questions
Well I took the other one out and sat this new to me reman’d unit in. Pedal height was much better! So I popped it out to clean and prep to paint it. For eff sakes there was a silver paint on the back hiding epoxy and around the studs and they appear to have been installed off kilter. The epoxy was gooped onto a bit of the threads and the base was not completely sealed. I have to tell you, whoever is doing this for NAPA (good chance for all the others too) is doing one half-baked job. It’s going back and probably going to source a new one this time. Can’t be any worse than what I am getting here. Used to be a guy could trust the blue and gold for quality parts. Their supplier is failing big time. Forgot to snap a photo so I’ll get that on Monday.
And BTW, LMC and Truck and Car Shop confirmed their MC’s that are listed as different numbers for Power and Manual brakes have deep pockets for the pushrod for what it’s worth. They couldn’t tell me anything about the calving or why the different numbers though.
