The freakin' zerks on the BRAND NEW CALIPERS were rusted to nubs - NUBS - nothing to grip, came apart in my hands and the brake wrench. Now I gotta remove the calipers, use an easy out to get the rest of the zerks out of the calipers.... WHAT NEXT!?!? :) ~~ mutter ~~ I am curious as to the zerks on your calipers. What are they for? Bleeding the brake lines? Eisboch Via a zerk fitting? My trailer's calipers have "bleed screws." Seems to me that I recall cars in the past having zerk type bleed screws on the brake systems. They were used because a vacuum pump was attached to them to evacuate all the air in new brake lines. Eisboch Well, Tom *is* very special, so I am sure his boat trailer brake calipers are equipped with zerks. Is 'zerk' a common term used for grease fittings or nipples down there? I don't recall that term being used a lot up here. Yup |
