The bore could already be oversize, so you honing it won't help anything. I would pull it apart first and see if you find anything obvious that you could safely and confidently fix (split/torn/mis-installed/wrong size cup).
And not every 9/32 socket will fit. I have had problems with later model Rams and vans (some things never change)where the zerk head is too tall for some 9/32 sockets.
I don't believe replacing flexible hoses will cure this problem. If a flex hose has an internal rupture, it will not cause a soft pedal. Either it would not flow fluid at all (rare) and that would not cause soft pedal or it would flow one way to cylinder, but not allow fluid to flow back towards...
Look like standard '73 up Chrysler brake pads (A-body ?). Rotor finish can cause your problem, such as turned at too fast of speed, no non-directional finish, bad bits, etc. Also when you "tighten" outer pad ears, I always wedge chisels between rotor hub and bottom of pad backing plate to force...
Oh sorry, didn't catch that this wasn't a new issue. Just wondering if your exotic shoes are chamfered ? As a previous person noted, we did use to have to grind/sand problem shoes sometimes to eliminate high spots. I did follow, and find interesting, your thread on accumulating all your brake...
Possible bad brake hose on LF. Hose/ fluid gets hot and will not allow fluid to freely flow back towards master after brake application. Maybe take it out, get brakes nice and hot, and jack it up as soon as you get back home and see if that wheel is much harder to spin than right. If it is ...
Depending on the vehicle you are working on, if your alignment was right to start with, you could get it all assembled and then pull steering wheel and clock it properly and re-install it.
Ok, see what you are up to now, sorry. But I would think most automatic drag guys would just adjust down rear brakes a little, rather than go through everything you are to " take away abuse of overpowering rear brakes". Now, I'll have to apologize again if you tell me you have rear disc's !
Smaller diameter section should face out from bearing.Can double check by looking for tension spring on lip seal, spring will always go towards protected side (bearing).
Bought a '67 GTX in early '80's, original 440 auto, 8.75 car. 11" x 3" all the way around. Have all of that braking system on my '67 Belvedere currently (wrecked GTX). Thought it was common knowledge that all '67 GTX's came that way.
