Because I really wanted to get it done and the old pads didn't have enough meat on them to be useful for much longer. I suppose I can try to pull off the anti vibration layer and see if that helps.
While the hose and and caliper have seen better days the issue here is an alignment problem between the rotor and the cast iron metal bracket behind it... The pad literally had to be hammered into place since there was less clearance at the top than the bottom.
Not particularly. When I tried fitting the pad without the caliper I could see the difference in space behind the rotor and the big bracket behind it. Basically right now I think the pad is wedged against the rotor creating that drag. I don't know if it's something I can just let it wear through...
I just started driving my GN again this summer after letting it sit for a few years. It isn't living the pampered life in the garage anymore and some issues are starting to arise as well as wear items needing to be replaced. My brakes have been squealing so I checked them on Tuesday to find...

I remember there being discussion about whether or not ram air helped on a turbo car and the general consensus was no. This is because the turbo is already pulling air in pretty strongly so pushing it in via ram air doesn't really help.
I guess the sound would better be described as kinda similar to boiling water in a teapot. Pressure leaving the resevoir but going past the moist gasket. Seemed fine after I bled just the front driver's side but the pedal goes about half way down before it does anything. I'll try to do the...
Well, just the other day I started to hear a kinda squealing sound coming whenever I braked. Today I finally checked what was going on and it seems I've been losing brake fluid. I think what happened is that my brake fluid cover somehow got loose so air started getting into the system. The...
