Re: Help installing bearings

if the rods are gone the mains will be gone , put a pressure gauge on it and see if there is any pressure before you pull anything apart and buy a workshop manual
you dont need any fuel additive.

Re: GC discs on a GA?

if the rear wheel cylinders are the same size as GC should be ok but if GC uses a pressure valve in the rear this should also have one (usually on the firewall in the rear brake line)
