Re: 1971 C20 rear brake disassembly
Excellent vid. The only caution I would add is sometimes those threads on the axle housing are sharp and can give a nasty cut.
FAQ material!

Re: 1971 C20 rear brake disassembly
I used the square end of a rat-tail file and tapped mine off.

Re: 1971 C20 rear brake disassembly
It aint rocket science, but for a guy like me who looked around for some "helpful" tips on how to remove these drums, i found nothing.
I noticed a couple of things.... One shaft is longer than the other, Careful with those axle housing's, they are sharp and that freakin drum weighs a ton! Last edited by beebster; 05-07-2010 at 03:40 PM. |
