Rear disc brakes
I finally think I got the CPP rear disc brakes like they need to be after several years and many, many tries. I found a video that showed the guy putting the 9/16" wrench on the bolt that you turn counter clockwise to tighten up the pads with the nut on the backside of it. This keeps the shaft from going into the caliper and you can adjust the dang thing like it needs to be. I did this this morning with help from my daughter to bleed the brakes again also. The E brake will hold the truck still now on a hill! I even have a better pedal feel still not as good as with the drums but much better than it has been in several years!
Here is the video.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
