Re: Ft. Brakes replacement 70 C30 Dump

Actually that whole wheel cylinder was an issue...The bolts that hold the wheel cylinder to the backing plate were specific, that took a 12 point wrench, or socket...Naturally they were rusted beyond unscrewing, and all the points were rounded.......Out come the torch & vice grips......Then could not get these same replacement bolts so had to use 1/4 inch with 3/8 head bolts which caused another problem of the head of the bolt striking the steering knuckle.... And the fun continues.... By the way the wheel cylinder kits were also China, so either way its not a win/win...Some times I feel like I'm in Cuba trying to repair a 55 Chevy.....
