The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Front brakes help

Looking for mechanical technical help on removing the master cylinder and front brake shoes on a 1950 chevy 3100.
I'm new with this truck and need expert advice.
No area garages are willing to do the work so I'm in a pickle.
I have the parts with the exception of the washer that holds the 2 extension flat bars in the middle bottom.
I haven't taken anything apart yet but I've watched a couple of you tube videos, looks easy enough with the exception of master cylinder.
Thanks jim

The master cylinder was the easiest and most normal part of working on Huck brakes.

If you don't have a lift, get the truck on jack stands as high as you can.

Disconnect brake line, remove clevis pin or cotter pin from the end of the piston rod, remove two mounting bolts and that's it.

Bench bleed the new MC before installation.

When working on something new and unfamiliar I find it helpful to take a few pictures you can refer back to if problems arise. John

Thank you

Thanks

Heck ya! I even take pictures of stuff that I am familiar with. I've been working on drum brakes since I was in high school and I still won't take both sides apart at the same time. I want a visual reference of the whole thing assembled to make sure I get all the parts put back in the same place on the side I'm working on.

Before digital cameras and cell phones, I used to draw pictures and diagrams of where stuff went.
