Doing a brake job on the front and rear due to a siezed emerg cable, a bit of a cyl leak and worn shoes anyways.
Does anyone have a photo or pic from a book of the brake wheel cyl and the locking clip installed? I haven't taken my shoes/springs off yet to see the old one and just wanted to see it ahead of time since I bought new wheel cyl today. BTW is it safe to put antiseize on the brake line threads or a blob of grease or silicone around the area after the line is installed into the wheel cyl to keep it from rusting or seizing up?
Due to getting my car rust proofed every yr, the flared connections at the brake wheel cyl came loose real easy. But, on the RH side when the nut started to tuen it moved at the axle and a leak started. So I must have have a spot sitting on the metal axle which caused a rust spot. Crap! So I have the line off and wonder if the dealer sells premade lines for the GN. If not then I'll buy a straight line and copy the bends with my tub bender and see if someone sells a protector spring I can wrap around the line. And then the piece that will be sitting on the RH side of the axle, I'll use a piece of vacuum hose, to the right of the OEM clip and slit the rubber hose and fill it with grease and stick it on the line to act as my rattle guard.
