Did a couple more things on the car tonight... Realized that both front calipers were totally stuck on the discs. Glad I didn't drive far yesterday. I tried to pry the pads off the discs, but I eventually had to hammer the old calipers off. Can old calipers be rebuilt or should I just toss them? I re-used the old pads since they looked OK and the ones I bought off Ebay were too wide. The guy said they were for Type3/4, but I guess not. Anyone need some free Type 4 pads? Also, ALL my shocks were bad. You could compress them and they didn't pop back at all. When I went to replace the driver's side shock, the bottom mount was the same diameter as the bottom grommet on the shock. The passenger side fit fine, but the driver's side was maybe like 3/4". I had to drill out the bottom grommet on the shock. Hope that was OK? Sorry I missed you guys at Woodstock today. How was it? ===== -------------------------------------------- 1971 FI AT Squareback http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ vw_variant71@yahoo.com -------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
