Re: '70 Drum Brakes; when is rebuilding necessary? what should be done to optimize pe
I rebuilt all 4 wheels on mine last year and they work fine for me.You just have to remember they are drums and not disc so you have to allow for more stopping distance.As all have stated above replacing the shoes,wheel bearings,wheel cylinders,hardware kit and turning the drums.You should also replace the brake hoses on all 4 wheels as these are known to deteriorate and collapse under braking.But if you have the money disc brakes on all 4 corners is the way to go.
