Something's wrong with this brake part.
2 Attachment(s)
So I was able to get some pics of rear drums from a few members. I see a problem here. Why is this piece shaped differently?? And as you can see, somehow it came loose and worn through thanks to the axle. Wrong piece?? I repositioned it and it came loose again. What's going on here?? And the shoes seized to the drums but that's for another thread.

Re: Something's wrong with this brake part.
That is not the correct part. It should look like this picture-
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/a...SABEgL12fD_BwE Might not be the exact part, I just typed in "1970 Chevrolet parking brake strut", without picking a tonnage. But the flat shape is correct. Also, you have a wheel stud that should be pressed the rest of the way in. |
Re: Something's wrong with this brake part.
I thought so. Not sure how the wrong strut got on there. Maybe from the previous owner. And thanks for pointing out the wheel stud 😂 this rebuild is getting out of control. I seem to spend more time fixing things instead of restoring. 😆

Re: Something's wrong with this brake part.
All 4 drum brakes on my truck were goofed up when I got it. The old owner had "all new" brakes put on at a place that is supposed to be reputable. All the self adjusters were locked up and some springs were put on wrong. One strut spring was cut short with dykes to make it fit.
You'd come out ahead to buy hardware and self adjuster kits for all of your drum brakes and putting it together correctly. All those springs are meant to be replaced periodically anyway. It will cost around $25/wheel. |

If that's a DANA 60 axle here are some pics that might help you out. All pics are Driver Side, except last pic is Passenger Side.

Thanks everybody for all your replies. This helps me out a lot and lets me know where I'm at on these brakes.

Well, looking at my very dirty diff, I do see it's a Dana. Not sure if it's a 44, 60, or 70. I didn't have time to wipe it down. The truck is at the body shop and you know they dont want people in their shop long.

Did you powder coat or paint the leafs? Or for that matter the axle housing?
Thanks looking good. |
