Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Well I got the Bronco home all safe and sound, only $80 even.
Also, the master brake cylinder was dead but I still had no brakes. So I took off the front left wheel and found this

Looks fine to me?
That 'splains it. Any hint on what caused the failure? That brake pad is in a position that it shouldn't be; something caused it to move there.
Looks like you need a new caliper. Probably want to do both, or at least rebuild the other side. If it were mine, I'd replace or rebuild the master cylinder and rear brake cylinders, as well. And look over the other caliper very closely if you don't rebuild or replace it.
New flexible lines at each front wheel and at the rear axle would also be a good investment. Who knows how long the system has been out of brake fluid and is rotted/corroded.
Mac's probably has all of the pre-bent brake lines, too, if you need 'em.

I'm planing on replace all the brake pads nad shoes. Rear wheel cylinders, already replaced the master cylinder. And I get new/reman parts super cheap. Basically at cost.

No brake pad? *#@*#@)
There was some pad left but very, very, very little. The rotor is in good shape some how but I'm going to see how much new ones are.Originally Posted by rocktot

Gunsmoke does brakes now?

ahh, I see what you did there.
Hey, does anyone know besides a junkyard where I can find a replacement hard line brake line? Not the flex hose/line but the one that goes from the proportional valve to the wheel.
I need the passenger front wheel line.
