For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 687 | The spreader bar on both sides contaced both shoes on both sides so severly that it was keeping the shoes from returning to the adjuster contact point. I took the spreader bar (rod if you will) and shortened it about 1/4 inch by bending the end that attached to the front shoe and it did the trick. It was already bent (from the factory) I just bent it a little more. Anyway, the truck will now stop on a dime and give change. No pull or pulse. I realy think the mechanic before me bent the bar instead of tightening the brakes and cables to get more emergency brake action. Thanks for the posts. James
