Re: Project: 1964 Corvair Monza 900 coupe in Hot Springs, A

Brakes are squared away... Drives nice now. Trans leaks a bit when I park it after driving and stops after a few tablespoons drip. Leak on top of transmission somewhere??
Next, cut out driver's side floor and weld in new pan.

Re: Front Brake Rotor replacement

I know I'm not the first 1964 owner to order this part from Clark's. They do not sell the drum with hub attached. What have other EM owners done? It looks like I could drill out the rivets, remove old drum, install new drum and only use the wheel and lug nuts to hold drum in place the same way the r...

Front Brake Rotor replacement

I bought the front turned brake rotor from Clarks for my '64 coupe. How do I remove the hub/lug nut/bearing assembly from the old rotor and install on the new turned rotor? Are specialty tools needed and would a local mechanic have these tools? Looks like it is riveted in place somehow.

Re: Front brake rotor/drum bearings

I tapped it out with a socket extension. Pops out easily.

Re: Project: 1964 Corvair Monza 900 coupe in Hot Springs, A

Pulling hard right when braking. The left rotor is in need of turning or replacing. Might be too far gone. Switched rotor sides and pulls hard left, so I'm sure it's the rotor. Anyone have experience with the turned rotors from Clark's? Do they come with bearings already in or will I need to make th...

Re: Project: 1964 Corvair Monza 900 coupe in Hot Springs, A

Finally got the Brakes bled and working again. Still a little work to be done on the brakes as far as replacing the rubber lines, but it is again drivable. I also still need to cut out the driver's side floor and replace with the beautiful new panel that I have. That's next.

Re: Bleeding problem

Thanks, Ted. I was actually planning to replace all the rubber hoses in the next phase, so now would be as good a time as any to just do that. Thanks for the info.

Re: Bleeding problem

Alright, this is odd. THe right rear bled fine. The left rear still won't bleed. There must be a line issue between the left rear and the junction of the rear lines before they head up front. I closed up the MC and pushed on the brake. All brakes work fine. Pedal is firm. Even better than it was bef...

Re: Bleeding problem

I have the Phoenix systems reverse brake bleeder where you push fluid from the wheel up to the MC. It bleeds the MC while you reverse bleed the brakes. And with the rear line disconnected from the MC it still would not push fluid through the line, so at this point it has nothing to do with the MC. W...

Re: Bleeding problem

I disconnected the line from the MC and it still wouldn't bleed, so it must be something with the lines. I'll jack it up and get under there to see what might have gotten kinked.

Bleeding problem

1964 Monza Coupe. Installed Dual master cylinder. Front brakes bled beautifully. Rear brakes won't bleed. The rear brakes were functional before installing the new dual MC. I am reverse bleeding and like I said the front brakes were cake! I can't get any fluid to even push through on the rear brakes...
