I am currently repairing two leaking wheel cylinders at the back right wheel on my 58 2 ton

Viking. I was able to purchase the wheel cylinders,

however Napa doesn't have a listing for the brake

shoes. Its a shame too, the brake shoes look new,

unfortunately they took a bath in brake fluid. Drums

look new too, barely a lip on the outer edge! Does any

one know the part numbers for the shoes ? Also, the

springs and rest of the hardware look great. I have

always replaced the hardware when replacing brake

shoes. Is their a part number for a kit? I have read

here that the drums need to be pretty snug in order

to bleed correctly. After bleeding has anyone gone

back and backed off the shoes a bit or is the heavy

drag typical in the adjustment of our two tons ?
