Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

.

Restored my brake pedal today. It's a Lokar unit with 20k miles on it and was in poor shape. All the pads but one had fallen out fairly recently and the finish was looking dull. The last pad jumped to freedom as I was punching the attach bolts through and out of the pedal arm. Sadly, I did not get a before picture as this whole thing started out as fixing a rattle from the brake pedal. The Lokar piece was fitted pretty good to the arm "flange" for your foot and had 4 attachment points that were merely friction based. All the brake work I've been doing lately broke something there or dislodged something but the screws fully tight wouldn't stop the rattling. Anyway, I had to get it on the bench to figure it out... again no pictures

Got the rattle fixed and was ready to epoxy the pads back on there and decided to polish the thing first! Here's the finished product...over 100 bucks to buy a new one but this cost me an hour, some chemicals and some work...
