Brake Shoes

[jeeper]

Thanks.

While doing a survey of the needed brake parts for my M715, I found that the front wheel cylinders had leaked a little. I know you may be able to clean them with denatured alcohol but I was not comfortable with that.

I got rebuilt shoes from A. B. Linn and they are riveted and they look good. But I have not tried to install them yet. It is still cold here!

My NAPA comes up with nothing for a TS60, trying the TS320 also mentioned today. Chevy P30 van cross. Mikel just gave me the skinny on a relining shop that is pretty close (in Portland CT) too...

Maybe I missed it, but did anyone give an application for the #451 autozone shoes?

Gentlemen,

I had my shoes religned at Brake & Clutch Supply, Inc in Seattle...

They did a great job for about $20 per shoe. Chris said you could send your shoes to him via US Postal and he will relign and send them back to you. You can contact him at the above email or: 206-622-5655

Hope this helps. ken

Which shoe is being run in front for those of you modifying civvy shoes? I modded a set of Napa TS320's for the front of my truck, and ran them with the long shoe in the back. I know that the manual calls for the long shoe to be up front. My old shoes that came off were setup with the long shoe in the back too.

Also, does the trap block orientation matter depending on what shoe is in front, or should it always face forward regardless of which shoe is up front?

I just wanted to add a tip to this thread that seemed to work well for me.

I was removing the drums to do a brake job and ran into the age old stuck screw problem. After not budging them with anything I had on hand I went to Chinese Freight and bought the biggest flat blade they had. It also came with a matching Phillips.

I then took that screwdriver and using a 10mm wrench for torque turned off the first 2 with some elbow grease. Screw #3 proved more difficult and the tip of the screwdriver broke. After grinding down about 1/4" it fit even better with greater grip on the screws and #3 still would budge. Enter a 3' piece of rigid conduit as a cheater bar on the wrench. Presto!! #3 comes off and I move on to the next wheel.

Wheel #2 proved even more difficult. Keep in mind this truck has been sitting in a barn for 20 some years. I thought to myself, there has to be a better way!!

After removing the wheel I figured I might as well run the lugnuts back on with my impact and see if that helps break some rust and relieve some of the tension on the screws.

To my surprise I could almost turn the screw off with the screwdriver by itself!!!!

Your results may vary, but this worked excellent on the next 2 just as rusty wheels.
