So I've had my '72 fury for a little over two weeks now and have done some minor work to it. Got a new battery, new spark plugs, wires, distributor cap but now I am about to begin the first major task of my project. Fixing the brakes.
Turns out the calipers are seized....it had been sitting for 10 years so I guess that was to be expected. I went ahead and ordered new calipers, shoes and brake lines as well as the field service manuals. I don't have the manuals yet but I got anxious this weekend and went ahead and started taking things apart. I want to get the rotors off so that I can get them checked out in case I need to replace them. My question is: What is this piece in the picture that is between the dust cap and the rotor? Is that part of the hub?
What's confusing is that when I see pictures of new rotors for this vehicle it doesn't seem to look the same as what I have here.
