Re: "Midnight Rider" 1970 C10 SWB Fleetside

I got the front brake pads in today so it's time install the front brakes. First thing I need to do is install the castle nut with the right amount of torque and then install the cotter pin and dust cap. The proper torque for the castle nut is tightening until you can only spin the rotor about 1 half turn. All the hardware for the front brake are nickel plated.







Place the pads inside the rotor. The CPP pads that I decided to not use came with two clips to hold the pads in place during caliper installation. Install brass bushings inside caliper. Place the caliper over the rotor and line up with mounting holes on the spindle. Use white lithium grease to cover the caliper mounting bolts so the pads slide easier during operation. Install mounting bolts and torque to 35 lb/ft.
















Installing the brake lines and hardware. Just installed loose for right now until I decide how I want to tie back the brake hoses.
