I think my left front brake thingie is seized as the rotor seems rusty and its difficult to remove it by hand. When braking hard it pulls to the right like no ones business. The right rotor is silver and clean looking. The brake hoses look swollen and the metal fittings are rusty like they have cancer. Manage to find the hoses and calibrators by raybestos for both sides. I wanted stainless braded, but couldnt find them. I ordered a set of metric flare nut wrenches, but advance auto says the fittings are sae. This is for a suzuki sidekick/ geo tracker. |

Don't know about the sidekick/Tracker, but my 1996 Metro brake lines (metal ones) were metric.

t3ragtop, tin top, Im basically doing just that. Want to make sure I have the right tools. You think the latest and greatest brake fluid is ok or should I use generic dot 3? |

Thingie? Calibrators? Is autocorrect goofing you up or are not all cylinders firing? Edited by JellyBeanDriver, Dec 6 2014, 02:00 AM.
