To clean brake pads and rotors effectively, start by removing the wheels and inspecting the brake components for any signs of wear or damage. Use a brake cleaner spray to clean the brake pads and rotors thoroughly, making sure to remove any built-up brake dust and debris. Avoid using water or soap, as they can cause damage to the braking system. Once cleaned, reassemble the wheels and test the brakes to ensure they are functioning properly.
Front brake rotors are warped
To clean brakes and rotors effectively, start by removing the wheels and spraying brake cleaner on the rotors and brake pads. Use a wire brush to scrub away any debris or buildup.

Start with an inspection and adjustment of the parking brake shoes by removing the rear brake rotors. If the brake shoes are good and they are adjusted up and you still need more adjustment, make final adjustments on the brake cables under the drivers side of the vehicle.
about 150 t0 175 dollars for brake pads and new rotors at advance auto Other pricing: Autozone: * Rotors range from $26 to $45 (don't buy the 'value' rotors - more likely to warp) * Rotors that are thick enough can be turned/machined - local shop does them for only $10-15 * Pads start at $19, upgrade to $32, and top-o-the-line "CMax" ceramics (my favorite type!) at $55 Be sure to grease up the slide pins and anywhere the pads 'ride' on the caliper brackets - using BRAKE grease.
To install disk brakes on a 1973 Nova, start by gathering the necessary components, including brake calipers, rotors, and a new master cylinder. Raise the vehicle and remove the front wheels, then disconnect the existing drum brake components. Install the new brake brackets, rotors, and calipers according to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring to properly route the brake lines. Finally, bleed the brake system to remove any air and ensure proper function before testing.
Brake rotors may be warped.
I'd start with the disk brake rotors. If one or both is warped it could cause the problem you describe.
