I finally took the brakes apart today and the biggest problem seems to be the frozen adjusters on the wheel cylinders causing a problem with one shoe getting hot on one side... I snapped one of them while trying to turn it. It is going to be a joy to pin the new one in on the plate... The one that came undone was braced, the others are pinned with a hammer and punch...
Don't know what the proper procedure for securing them is... The shoes are actually fine...
I have a few other questions and nervous about breaking something else... Is it better to try to remove the entire backing plate to work on the broken adjuster?
While I have this apart it is probably a good idea to replace the hub seals, any tricks to getting them out? I am trying not to mess with anything else.. The bearings have plenty of grease and oil, I don't want to touch them to avoid any problems...
Lastly, if anyone can help with part numbers for:
1- The special hollow bolt that goes on the brake junction block that mount to the wheel cylinders and the copper washers..
2- The axle shaft outer Lock plate...
3- The special axle hub notched nuts
Thank you...
