Brakes pull right
It came on over the last month or so. The Bendix pads are only have 10k with a long way to go. Rotors look smooth. The first couple stops have no pull but as soon as the brakes get a little heat they pull to the right, the harder I press the harder the pull. Just to check I pulled hard on the e-brake and there was no pull so it must be the front. With 136k I figured it must be the rubber lines or the calipers so I replaced both to no avail.
I replaced the flex lines with Earls. To add to the problem the banjo fitting on the drivers side has a small leak. Is there a torque spec for this or how tight can I go? I snugged it a little more but I don’t want to break it. I used the crush washers provided by Earls not the coppers that came with the calipers. If it still leaks tonight I thought I might swap the Earls washers for the coppers.
I thought I’d try bleeding the drivers front again to see if I’m getting good flow.
Any more idea’s ?
