Re: [AMC-list] Javelin bendix disc brakes

Greg,
 
Didn't Javelins have kelsey hayes disks in 1974?  So these brakes came from another model year and body style of AMC?   If so, you need to get the appropriate TSM for the car those brakes came from and look at the exploded view of the parts.  Take inventory.  If the TSM doesn't have all the information you need you'll have to find a parts manual or other source of info.   Were the actually shims with the brake assembly?   I dont recall any of the Bendix brakes needing shims.   I'm probably being not much help, but the situation sounds fishy to me (e.g., a mix of parts which don't belong together, or missing parts).  
 
Regards,
Joe Fulton

Finally got back to putting the front end of the javelin together and I come to find that the local bolt and nut place gave me the wrong size nuts for the spindle...ARG. So I drive allll the way in town and get the right bolts.... Anyway I'm trying to get the brakes back on.  I am doing a full front end rebuild so I've had everything apart and all new rotors bearings rebuilt calipers truntions springs and everything. I can't get the calipers on. They dont want to go on straight!! It had a pair of shims in between the spindle and removing those made things better.  The TSM doesnt show shims there at all... I still need the rotor to move in another 1/8 inch or so to get the caliper on straight.  Hopefully I explained this well enough to make sense..... Cant take out anymore shims and the hub seems to be on tight...Any ideas? Im not used to these brakes...havent messed with them before.

Thanks 

Greg
