Re: 68 Chevy Pickup Drum Brakes

Good luck with it. Pretty straightforward once you get the drum off.

You may have to back them off quite a bit. As you see, they are a pain to remove, which causes many people to just not do the brakes. Mine were metal to metal and probably never done. If this is the case, they can make quite a ridge on the back side where the shoes don't contact the drum. The shoes have to be in far enough to clear any ridge.
