Re: Need 1972 C30 rear brake shoe and seal data
OK - the rear of the 72 C30 MoHome is apart and definitely an Eaton H072 with 13x2.5" shoes. Also figured out that my "memory" of the larger drums/shoes was with a similar but heavier truck I repaired here in the garage zbout 5 years ago. I do like these C30s and even a bit bigger.
One more inquiry - the leaky axle seal I am replacing allowed some gear oil to get onto the brake shoes/drums. This afternoon I cleaned it all with brake parts cleaner and a lot of scrubbing on the shoes. The shoes are only about 15% worn and the drums are clean/smooth. Will examine the shoes carefully in the AM when all dried out.
Has anyone had this experience - that is, shoes that got coated with lube - and will a good cleaning/scuffing be likely to keep them useful? Or, is replacement a must.
Thanks again.
