Are the Bendix brand the best ones for a (82)D60 front axle? Or are there a preffered/better brand. I can get a discount form Oreilleys but they carry CARDONE brand.

I got some Bendix cores off EBAY that I was informed were off a running truck, but these I know didnt work for some time as the bleeder screw was rusted to hell & leaking & wouldnt come out after several bouts with WD40. These were sold to me by the way by EXTREMEAUTOMOTIVE & the PO box had a name of Joe Stepnolopski or other, who may be selling other junk out there.

IIRC, Bendix supplies the brake parts to Dana. Cardone is probably just a rebuilt caliper. A lot of bleeder screws are rusted closed on working rigs. The tapered fitting seals off the little hole from the internal pressure passage and whatever little fluid that gets trapped in the bleeder usually absorbes water and begins to rust. This is very common. As for the leaks ????
