I didn’t shoot a picture with the wheel off

I will do that. I think you are suspicious that I have the wilwoods on wrong because I had trouble with the bleeding?

I’m pretty sure I’m good to go but I’ll shoot the picture soon. I’m pretty sure in the same way i was really sure the outer race was not inside that hub :)

Until I shoot that picture.. I’ll use this one to illustrate

https://74bronco.shutterfly.com/pictures/109

My calipers are mounted like the ones circled in this diagram. I mounted them at a right angle to the ground. Note that in this picture the bleed bolt is on the top and the bottom in the front of the caliper. On my calipers the bleed bolts are on the top and on the bottom but are in the back - on the inward side. The words wilwood face out so that if the tire was off you would see the logo. I was attempting to bleed from the passenger side top and couldn’t get it to the point where the fluid was reaching the bleed screw. My wheel mechanic used a vacuum bleeder and it worked right away.


Thanks again

Nope. Not at all in this case. Because it bled, I figured they were fine.
I just wanted to see them. Kind of hoping to do that someday when I grow up too, but have perfectly good brakes right now.

Thanks. Enjoy being able to stop straight!

Thanks! I like the polished master. And the big calipers too!
If you send a pic of your son to that e-mail address I sent before (for catalog pics) you should send one of your calipers too. Might make it into the brakes section sometime.

I don't remember if you said already, but are those larger diameter rotors for larger wheels too? Or does this setup fit 15's?

Re the rotor size, I don’t remember since it was 2 years ago when I did the research and bought them I only noticed recently what was going on in there. I was trying to solve a brake squeak and then I was surprised at what I found.

The wheels are not that big I’ll check the diameter again. Masons bronco is uncut/not lifted I’ll measure the wheel diameter. I’ve just forgotten- they might be 15s
