In the process of fixing the brakes on my '50 4100. It has 15"x3" drums on the back with a single wheel cylinder and integrated emergency brake. The truck sat for nearly 40 years so everything is pretty well stuck. The wheels turn - but the adjustment is very close and I cannot get the drums off as a result. I am not familiar with the inards on these brakes. Anyone got any tricks I can use to get these things apart without tearing everything up? What I'd really like to see is some good pictures of what one of these brake assemblies looks like the drum off. Might help me come up with my own game plan.


1950 4100 - unrestored and driven weekly for almost no reason at all.
