The rubber ends look in good shape. I pushed them back on tighter , but , are they due for a replacement when they look like this? If you look close there is a drip on the right rubber. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Looks like the cups are going bad. While there should be some fluid there for lubrication (very little), that looks to be a definite leak. You should at least do a rebuild on them. Since you mention seeing fluid on the wheel, most likely the shoes are soaked as well, and should be replaced.

If there is fluid inside then there is leakage in the cups. You can put a kit in it easily. You will need a brake cyl. hone available at Chinese tool stores or parts stores.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

I expect rears will be the same. Thanks all | | |
