This is not a hard job. First I'd take the cups out of the cylinder and see what the cylinder looks like. If its slick and smooth I'd hone it a little and put a kit in it. (unless you can have and Old parts store that may have just the rubber cups) You can get a little hone at most all parts houses. Not expensive either.
Since yours is a 51 I suspect its the Huck brakes but could be bendix. I ask because some times you can get the entire wheel cylinder for just a couple more dollars than the kit. I have also found that most local parts houses can get them....especially if they are Bendix, and you don't have any shipping ect. Hope this helps. | | |
