Hi.... problems with the front brakes after three years in storage.... car pulled hard to the left when the brakes were applied... felt like I had a flat tie on the right front... jacked up the front... left side is fine.... passenger side brakes are almost locked on tight.... stuck there... it all makes sense..... I have sprayed penetrating oil on the two 17 mm bolts holding the pad assembly on.... and will remove the assembly and see if the piston is corroded that pushes on the pads.....
But, I am pretty sure these brakes were probably installed at the factory in the early 70's.... and would like to identify them.... here is what I found....
a number stamped on the casting..... 2712..... another number..... 79-9.... and then I am sure the company name that LOOKS LIKE the letters Fttc with the number 50.... BUT... I cannot be sure about the Fttc....
Can anybody put two and two together on this and make some suggestions/recommendations about either cleaning the pistons or what company made these?
Thanks...
Dennis
