The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline These 52 new drums and shoes are HOT!

I've been away from the computer for a couple days- utility company lost power to our area for over a day. These are Bendix brakes. I'll have someone help me with checking the RR brake for operation. I'll also re-tighten and re-loosen each wheel to get an accurate count on the number of clicks per wheel. It seems like such a luxury to have brand new pads and drums versus the old, used Huck components on my other trucks. That enables me to back off the shoes and still have adequate brake pedal instead of having the wheel cylinder adjusters maxed out (or nearly so) in order to have brakes. I usually am much closer on the shoe-to-drum clearance on the Huck brakes. I'm trying to get a feel for how the Bendix vs. Huck upgrade applies to performance and adjustment tolerances.
