Go to Gregsonline.com to get one. 1960 Chevy Apache Shortbox In the Gallery Story continues in the DITY Gallery Read all about the IRWIPI - Triple Dog Dare! Supporting Stovebolt Servicemembers

I thought there was a clip to pull but wasn't sure about the brake assembly and what had to come off. Does that include taking off backing plate? Or just shoes etc and brake line? I'll get the manual and find out.
