Fill MC and I like to let them "Gravity Bleed" some first. That's keeping the MC full, and opeining a couple of wheel cylinders to allow fluid to flow down by Gravity's pull. It works better with a h

There's a return spring to the frame on most trucks. Light but long, clips on a hanger riveted to frame farther ahead. One end for the clutch spring, one for the brake pedal. OR, your front corner ca

This is a little off topic, but trucks are subject to the same problem, so the discussion should be educational. As you may know, I've been obliged to rebuild the rear brakes on my 55 thunderbird. I'

Did you retract the brake shoe star adjusters all the way in? You might want to take the threaded end off of it, clean the threads of both sides, and you may be able to adjust it a little further. O

I'm wondering if the cable for the emergency brake is too tight and then causing the brake shoes to be slightly applied give you the problems of installing the drum? My Uncle had the same problem onc

Did you make sure you have the shoes on correctly, with the long lining on the back, short lining on the front? How's the parking brake hardware...is the parking brake engaging some, keeping the sho

Here's my $.02: In the olden days we would "arc the shoes" to make the shoes the same radius as the newly turned drums. This would involve removeing some of the (asbestos) brake lining so that the o

Thanks, Jim. I think all of those issues are under control except, perhaps the parking brake. I'll check that in the morning if my muscles don't ache too much. Wish I had a lift. Grant.

Thanks, Michael. Not sure how to do this. I suspect I'd botch it. Is there a method to figure where to relieve? What's the best method of removing material? Grant

The brake lathes had a feature that would hold the shoe in a clamping device that would swivel gently into a rotating abrasive wheel. The raduis of the drums was set on the clamping device. Again, w

Just a thought I had as I read your note. Are the shoes on correctly, what I mean is on most (not all) drum brakes the shoes are self actuating. When the front shoe comes into contact with the drum

I once put the two long shoes on one rear wheel and the two short shoes on the other rear wheel of a Chevy S-10 pickup. I had no problem getting them on, but they sure did wear out fast (on one side)

I think you have it backwards. A 10 psi RESIDUAL valve will apply your disk brakes enough that when jacked up you won't be able to turn the wheels. You want a 2 psi on the disks and a 20 psi on the r
