We used to call then 'Push And Pray' brakes.....
DO NOT turn the drums ! . even if ripped up . Once you go through it all and replace the linings, loose bushings and so on, adjust each 90 degree linkage so it's *just*approaching 90 degrees as the shoes begin to take up . More than 90 degrees and the brakes will e very grabby and uneven, less than 90 degrees and they'll be very poor and the pedal will have too much travel . Begin adjusting at each backing plate and slowly and carfully work your way to the brake pedal last .

Re: Another Blue Chevy
I've gotten a few things done over the last two months . Although we missed out on some carshows I've also been able to take it to a couple of the local car club nights. I'll post up a few pics. I also stopped for a photo op under a US and Chevy Flags

Sadly, the Huck (rhymes with "SUCK") brakes fitted from 1937 ~ 1950 (? '51 ?) weren't much better, I feel your pain .

Re: Another Blue Chevy
...Been a few months since I posted on this thread . So much has happened, The end of June I was hearing a noise in the drive train. After some researching when it would make the most noise. I narrowed it down to the transmission front bearing retainer was broken. After removing the transmission, further examination showed the main drive gear and adjoining main shaft cluster were trashed
...As I was taking things apart I realized a trans mount without any rubber contributed to the broken pieces and rebuilt mine after no luck finding another. ...I found new pieces to fix the transmission, but I also found a used transmission on Ebay in Minnesota . I ordered it and received the trans on Aug 31st. ...That day I was repainting the house after already repairing broken windows from a recent hail storm. My Wife said the house can wait "fix the '35" . So I could get it put up. I dropped everything got the transmissions pieced together and installed and have been driving it almost every weekend since . ...First thing we had to do was take it by my Mother In Law to show her since she is the one that bought it for us . ...I will try to post up pictures in the order they happened. It's been 4 months and I got rid of my flip phone so I can ZOOM with my 3 yr old grandson and his parents.So I have lots of pictures.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
...July 23 I thought I would pull the trans real quick. ...HaHa...
...By Aug 13th I had realized I wasn't going to get this done inside my 8'x20' CONEX because I was going to have to move the rear axle back so the torque tube would be out of the way to pull the transmission back and out through the top. So I set up an awning to work under. ...Aug 17 I got the trans out....WHEW!!! ...At that point the bad news. It was the beginning of the search. ...then the Ebay listing for a complete trans popped up , correspondence took place and the purchase was made. ![]()

Re: Another Blue Chevy
...9-1 I took the best of the two trans and set up a makeshift bench to work on it ... 9-2 Tested all the functions before setting it back in all clean and purdy on 9-6 and put the flooring back in and covered that by carpet.

Re: Another Blue Chevy
