New front and rear brake pads are now in place. My camera batteries went out so the only picture I could take is of the rear new pads in place. 

This is just a quick fix, I will be replacing the front and rear rotors with slotted units, paint the calipers, replace the stock brake hoses with stainless steel hoses, replace the front and rear wheel bearings, and paint the brake booster.

To be continued...

198108 109795929186877 318574565 n Brake fluid resevior now in place. Word of advise, remove the brake fluid resevior while the brake master cylinder is still in place, and install it the same way. Be sure to lube the rubber grommets too, or you will have a hard time pressing the brake fluid resevior back in place.

598622 109794695853667 1916056194 n Proof, the brake master cylinder seal was shot. The brake booster is still 100 though, just needs a good cleaning, sanding and paint.

DSCI1496 Since I striped the upper threads on the orinal f/l hard brake line, I had to replace it with a new unit from MAZDATRIX.
