So today I started on the the front brakes and glad I did.
Started out on Passenger side and everything went smooth, the caliper looked good and functioned, so I just replaced the pads
also replaced the brake hose since I don't know how long it has been on there, and for my piece of mind.
Went to the Drivers side and I had been hearing some noise while going down the road every so often on the last trip of the year.
took the wheel off and noticed the little piece that sits on the metal part that screws in was sticking out and broken.
( photo is of passenger side, but the arrow is showing the little curved piece that wedges the plate in to secure the caliper. )
So the noise i had been hearing was the caliper flopping and banging.
So I needed the new piece, and of course I have to buy a whole new caliper just for that... so I undid the brake line, changed it all out.
New Caliper, pads and hose on drivers side done, so good to go now!
Thinking with the surprise I found, I will be safe and do the rear shoes for safety sake before I take it out on next adventure.
Also found a leak on the connection of my water pump from Fresh Water Tank... I want to boondock more this year so I will be getting on that too.
Thanks again for reading my updates, looking forward to a great 2017!
