Not a very exciting update today, but I did manage to get the rear brake drum off
I went and bought new pads, shoes and rear brake hardware only to find out this axle came from a DRW with 3-1/2" shoes...so back to the parts store I went. Then once I got everything pulled off, I can't just spray it with brake cleaner and put it back together. It's supposed to be nice the rest of the weekend, so I'm going to try to get the rears cleaned and painted. I just need to get something put together so that I can build some momentum on this.
