Today I was able to spend a bit of time on JJ and cleaned, rebuilt and lubed the parking brake mechanism along with replacing the brake pads .

An amazingly complicated mechanism for the parking brake, this one is for the drivers side. |

Beginning to clean/scrape some of the old grease and muck that has acquired over the past 50 years. Just starting and I'll bet I scraped at least two pounds of crud off the two lower control arms, after scraping I'll need to wash the rest off.

That's it for this week.
Cheers,
