My new-to-me 87 2wd Mighty Max ( http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...21-Hello-hello ) failed MO inspection yesterday, mostly due to brake issues. So this weekend I'm going to be doing new brakes front and rear — new pads, rotors, calipers up front, new drums, shoes, hardware, wheel cylinders in back.
I've done discs and drums on other cars before (old Civic, Jeep Cherokee, Ford E-series) but haven't done them on this truck yet.
Is there anything about the brakes on these trucks that I should know going in? Are there other things I should replace while I'm in there? Any specific ordering for bleeding the brakes?
Can I just pull off the rotor or do I need to remove the wheel bearing? (If I do need to remove it, should I repack it/replace it?)
Are there odd-sized bolts anywhere? I'd prefer not to have to run out for tools halfway through.
I believe I have all necessary tools (including torque wrench and electric impact gun), but it's been a little while since I've done auto work and want to be sure I'm going in prepared.
Thanks in advance!
