Re: I just enjoy putting new parts on...
Good job!
I've been putting off doing the same thing. Sometimes I just don't feel like taking the effort to just jacking up the truck and taking the wheels off. LOL Keith |

Looks good except for a couple things. Longer shoe goes on the back and you have no park brake.

I knew about the parking brake thing, I was waiting on hardware, but thanks for the heads up on reversing the shoes...

Re: I just enjoy putting new parts on...
For some reason, it's a lot more fun to put new parts on rather than fix something.

One question? Did you put a little dab of grease on the small raised areas on the backing plate where the shoes slide back and forth on. I think there's 3 for each shoe. Less friction. Brakes last longer. |
