Were the pins lubed well and the halfs move easy?

Reelthing,

Yeah, I thought everything moved pretty easily when I took it apart. I did clean everything and lube it again before I put it back together.

Greg,

Sorry I wasn't clear (I thought inboard was enough reference) but I was talking about front brakes.

I see said the blind man as he picked up his wheel and spoke

I've always used pad for the piece that contacts the disc or drum and shoe for the whole piece, but I know that some people use the term pad for discs and shoes for drums. My bad.

Of course I'm not alone   :

From a website of legal definitions:
"Pressurized brake fluid travels along the brake line to the caliper. The pressurized fluid pushes the piston (green) and inner brake shoe against the disc (blue). Pressure against the disc pushes the caliper away from the piston, pulling the outer brake shoe against the disc. As the brake shoes clamp together, friction slows the rotation of the disc and wheel. "
and from the Muscle Car Clubs website:
"Brakes, Disc: A type of braking system in which brake shoes, in a vise-like caliper, grip a revolving disk mounted on a wheel to slow or stop disc and wheel rotation for braking. Properly called "Caliper Disc Brakes," they are used on most modern cars."

Thinking back, I think we used to be able to replace brake pads on brake shoes by riveting new pads onto old shoes. That was a few years ago.
