Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Been very busy working many hours and then had people come in for T-giving. Therefore I haven't posted an update in awhile.
I decided to look into the rear brakes and they were a mess. They were due for a rebuild so I decided to get it all done. Didnt take a bunch of pics as we've all been there. First pic the old set-up; adjusters all the way out and the shoes cracked in the center at the rivets. Drums were grooved and wheel cylinders were shot. One was frozen, the other beginning to leak. Got all my parts at local auto stores. Wheel cylinders, shoes, hardware and new drums. Used the FAQ thread to stare at some pics of a drum rebuild as it's been awhile. Goes together easily after you start doing it. Have a pic of the completed brakes and one of the new tires mounted on the 6-lug rally wheels. Went with 235/70/15's for the old school kinda look.
I'm also adding relays to the headlites and repainting the grill and bumper as I hated the black. They are silver now....more pics soon.
