Hi Everyone,
I've started the actual rebuild of the brake system on my 1953 3100. I started with the right rear brake assembly. I would appreciate everyone taking a look at the pics and let me know if it looks like it is supposed to look. I know that sounds a little weird or that I'm lacking confidence, but this is the very first time that I've done this. So I guess I do lack self confidence! Anyway, here are the pics:
Overall view of brake assembly Rear shoe hold down Shoe adjuster Front shoe hold down and anti rattle spring Return Springs Sorry that the pics are a little blurry.
My concerns really revolve around two things: 1. Are the pieces put back together correctly? 2. Are the return springs seated well enough or will they work loose during operation? It just seemed to me that they should have been sitting a little deeper behind the post.
Go ahead and give me the bad news if I did it incorrectly. I want these to be right, so no pride here, just be gentle.
Thanks for looking!
