Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 61 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 61 | O.K. so I need to remove my 1964 C20 Parking brake band.
Is this a simply remove and reinstall, or should I know something.
Any help would be helpful. I just received the 64 Supplement Manual and no notes on this subject. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | It's pretty simple but it's hard to get back together unless you do it every day. Take pictures & notes so you know were each spring & part goes. The adjustments are pretty obvious. After you get it snuged up & centerred adjust the long 1/4 in bolt to keep it from drooping & dragging.

I have the '63 manual with the complete directions if you need them.
From memory:
1) The positioning (centering) bolt on the case should be turned until it allows .01-.015 clearance from the pad to drum.
2) Then the smaller bolt should be turned up so it allows .30 clearance from the bottom pad to bottom of drum...with a .10 shim diametrically positioned.
3) Finally the big "J" bolt turned until .30 clearance from top of pad to top of drum...with a .10 shim diametrically positioned.
Hope this helps!
