Ihave a 52 chevrolet 4600. I have had the rear cylinders rebuilt they were stainless lined with new seals. I have fitted them. I have also cleaned and fitted the shoes.I have a problem in that even though i have the adjuster wound right in drivers side rear is not letting off properly it appears to be holding on. I have jacked up the truck to test and the passenger side lets off fine. Does any body have any ideas. Thanks Howard.

Hy Howardwade, have you done any other brake work? If you have not adjusted your rear brakes you may not have a good bleed and your cylinder pistons may be being pushed out so far they might be hanging up or binding.

Howard,

If your 1952 4600 has brake "booster" equipment, I think that the bleeding procedure and bleeding equipment are different from other series/equipment trucks.

4600 series ? Do you mean 6400 series 2 ton truck ? Maybe 4100, or 4400 series 1 1/2 ton truck ?
