I replaced the brake pads and got it back on the router but it doesn't seem to be breaking when I slam on the break it pulls to the left. Do you think my caliper piston is shot. My brake pedal can go all away to the bottom and it doesn't seem to have much resistance to it. help please an thank you. -suburat

Trying to replace brake pads

So I've been trying to get the caliper off of my rotor but I can't seem to figure out how I unscrewed the bottom screw in trying to swing it out but it just won't budge what am I missing. This is on the 1978 DL wagon

O boy I had the same issue. Blew my mind. My electrtion helps me out so I'm not 100% on all of this we did a sub wire from my ignition to my battery with a 12 v capastor then connected to my fule pump also we put a fuse on the sub wire so I don't fry what's left. So now when I turn my key to acc the fule pump begins to pump Sorry for not being more clear but I am NOT an electrtion cheers! -SUBBYRATT

Before removing your axles and replacing them try a few things first as for the rear you may want to check if you have play in your ujoints u joints often die long before the axle does and as for the front try to just replace your CVs you can get CV at shucks for $68

In what shape are your 77's boots? And thank you for the new fab advice. I will look into it. I feel as if putting a new fab on there may be the way to go. - subyratt

I had the same issues I did a sub wire with a small 12v regulater connecting to my ignition so It would pump gas when my car is in accessory. Worked like a charm

We are snow boarders who love our old lady's and use them(at least my suby) as they were intended, making a video of our adventures will post in near future

So how much is it for the part it's self and if I were to get it done at a shop what would be the price range I think I can do it myself but let me know how it's gone for you if you have been here. Thanks!! Cheers!!

That may be a breather tube. In one side out the other. I did the same thing. Put a cap on it and oil shot up the tube connected to my carb. Filling my weber with a shite ton of oil:( that was a task !

Here's a few pics of our adventure in good ol bessy I'm not one to brag but I passed up a mid 90"s jeep wrangler And a brand new Chevy desil and kept up perfect with the 87 gl wagon. I'm proud that my work has payed off and I can go almost anywhere (chains on)

I just need some advice calibrating the screws on my weber carb anyone know how I should go about it in compensation with my throttle cable. It's running at a high idle but I did that to compensate for the low voltage that I get at stops. Altanater Replacement?

I need help I need help adjusting my weber carb on my 1978 dl. I'm new too working on a carborated engens. Any one know know the right calibrations of the three screws . I also redid my throttle cable to compensate for my 78 altaneder but the idle runs high. So in term I turned the screw right behind my throttle cable that connects to my carbs throttle. I'm just need a hand besides the dumb a*s at shucks - fail Th

Hey man I really appreciate this. I went to schucks And I asked the manager what he would do. He said"put a cap on the open valve cover and upgrade the tube for the intake" So I trusted him. ..... Now I know I'm better off doing it on my own. And to NEVER trust a " schucks professional" Oil shot up my breather tube filling my carb with oil, ruining my air filter and causing me to take my carb apart in the parking lot. 4hours later I got it back together. Clean. so I put a breather on it Gave the guy an ear full and was on my way. She had to much oil in her. Thanks a ton

I would eventually like to swap out the motor What kind of engein would I use. Something that packs a punch? ?

old bessy she has put me thro a lot of blood sweat and tears. But what's life with out a labor of love. Best little car I've had she drives great.

Vacuum issues I believe. I have had oil coming out of ..eh I think is the pistons cover. On the left side it has a vacuum tube on it witch is connect to the carburetor. So why is this spraying oil now I've driven it like this for mouths. Here are some pics of both side
