First, this page is dedicated to Ally and her friend, KBA!
Well, I have been working on the front brakes and replaced the Brake Master Cylinder and Brake booster, so when I saw that one of the supply houses had the rear brake kit on sale, out came the plastic. Note: You will need the Rear Brake Kit and one each of the two Pull Off Springs, one for each side, as they do not come with the kit. If you want to do a COMPLETE rebuild, you will also have to order the Adjuster Kit. Removing the rear drums: Method 1. Look at the last photo. Note the two large holes in the drum and that you can see the edge of the axle hub at the inside part of the hole opposite the axle flange. You can wedge two screwdrivers into each little space in the hole and drive them in to wedge the drum off the assembly. Method 2: If that fails to work and you did purchase the Brake kit, then you can grind the heads off the Hold Down Pins at the back plate and remove the drums with the shoes still attached to the drums. Here are the photos. Click on the photos for a better view. I’ll add more instructions later if you want. Drop me an email.
