Rear drum missing spring
Hello,
I rebuild the rear brakes on my truck. I found nearly everything. But i didn’t find the strut spring for the emergency brake strut. Do i translate it wrong? Because I’m from germany or isn’t there nowhere some on stock? |

Re: Rear drum missing spring
The strut spring isn't generally found in the spring kits, for some reason. You can purchase them separately, but I don't know about that in Germany.

Re: Rear drum missing spring
It is called a strut bar spring. Napa in the US does sell them.

Re: Rear drum missing spring
I’ve used a light duty spring like in this link to make my own.
Stretched out, flattened a bit and bent a couple pigtails on it. Worked great. Hardware stores have them. https://www.charleswareparts.org.uk/product/bpf117/ |

Re: Rear drum missing spring
My friend rebuilding his 1956 C10 just ran into the same thing. Purchased a spring kit and the strut spring wasn't included.
Maybe should call it a spring kit -1? |

Re: Rear drum missing spring
That spring broke on my dana 60 the brake adjuster keep on adjusting til it unthreaded itself.
Killed shoes and the drum. Ended up cutting the drum off with a torch.

Re: Rear drum missing spring
I don't think that I have ever seen that spring in any kits, and I've installed hundreds of kits, over my lifetime.

Re: Rear drum missing spring
I ran into this issue when doing the brakes on my 67 a couple years ago. After an exhaustive search I got an older guy at O'Reilly that really dug in and helped me out. He looked through some books and made a few phone calls. Ended up what I needed as actually on the shelf:
Brake Best part number H1338-2
