Still on the bottom of the C. The "inside" of the knuckles is the worst for corrosion. It is to the right of my finger. You must file all the corrosion. Even though I had divits worn on the outside of the ridge on both of my knuckles,it was the inside that was completely corroded. I believe this was the major cause of the brakes sticking. We will find out tomorrow.

Done with brakes. They work great. Painted wheels while I was at it.

Worn divit on bottom of knuckle. This is what the helpful members are referring to. With deep grooves,the proven fix being to weld the depressed area. Mine is not bad,so I am going to file the depression and all other areas,to give the pads a smooth surface to ride on. These areas must be lubed with disc brake lube also. I also cleaned up the pads backing plates.
