Hi all, thanks to all the input on my previous thread regarding brake addressing on my 62 TR4 recently acquired with no maintenance records. The brake pedal seems to sink rather low, there is squeaking in one of the wheels, and just general inconsistent feel in the pedal when I press and let off.
So I am in education mode and hope to tackle the brake system in a few weeks over Thanksgiving.
My question is does it matter on what I do first?
I plan on rebuilding the master cylinder for brakes using the Moss rebuild kit, and assume it should be ok as long as the inner shaft the piston is in is smooth and not gouged in any way. Or would it be suggested to replace it?
Secondly I plan on replacing the brake shoes or pads (can’t figure out which the TR4 uses or if its the same thing) for each wheel.
I don’t believe the TR4 has any such brake booster.
Does it matter what I do first? Master Cylinder or brake shoes?
Thanks everyone
