Location: ZH, Switzerland		This evening - a two hour job - I removed the brake shoes at the rear axle, disconnected the brake line and replaced the rear brake cylinder (both sides) with no problem. All the screws and hex nuts are torqued to the specified torque and the brake shoes are mounted again. Next time I'll replace the spring washers as I did for the front axle. The dust shield I didn't remove, the outer rear wheel seals are looking quite good and don't leak.

Happy Motoring!

Thank you very much. I'm not a professional auto (car) mechanic. I'm interested in cars and would like to learn a lot. Since I removed the gasket in the glass bowl filter (replacement I got at Rockauto) the glass filter is no longer an issue. My Chrysli starts at the first key turn now and needs a little game (micro pumping) with the gas pedal to keep it running (the choke is open all the time) for the very first time after the start.
I took some pictures as well but didn't post it here. I guess I'll remove the brake shoes at the pass side again to flip it (because I noticed a stamp on the web addressing the rear and front shoe). At the photo I noticed that I mounted the rear at the front position (closer to the front axle).

Happy Motoring!

Dieter

Dieter, what did you find out about your driveshaft problem?


Hello John, thank you very much for your question. Actually I didn't do further investigates except using Google to seek for Spicer 5-1304x u-joints. The result of the seeking was - use a 7260 and seek for a new clamp (Spicer addresses a Special... what ever that means)or replace the yoke at the rear axle...
I plan to replace the u-joint near the rear axle and try to clean the trunnion part. But I postponed this work. First I would like to finish the brake job. I'm sorry I couldn't give a better answer right now.

Happy Motoring!

Dieter

Picture series: installed the new five leg puller (at the minimum lug diameter), second: with a clonk the brake drum released, third picture: everything installed (pending issue is to correct the direction of the brake shoes)

Hello Randy, Thank you very much for your comment. The drum puller is a Hazet 1781-5, bought it online at TBS-Aachen in Germany. It's a 10 t puller for a range 115 mm to 220 mm. The bolt circle at the Chrylser (as well as most ChryCo cars in these years) was 4.5" (114.3mm). Primarily designed for truck application and there is a hydraulic spindle available as well.

Happy Motoring!

Dieter

John, what parts did you use to rebuild it? Just the needles?
Once I had a very hard vibration in my truck, especially under load. The longer I drove the worse it got. Finally (after about a quarter hour) I checked the u-joints with my fingers. I burnt my finger at the u-joint at the input of the transfer case. After replacing both u-joint it was going back to normal and the old u-joints I got. At the hot one about half of the needles were gone, just dust.
I hope the u-joint in your Windsor was not that bad.

Happy Motoring!

Dieter

Today I finished media blasting the underside of the body. The plastic sheets are off and the area has been vacuumed. What a job that was. Next will be cutting the rust out then patching where there are holes.

Location: Signal Mountain, TN		Busy most of the weekend on customer cars... but I did manage a little play time for the Plymouth...

I pulled the inner fenders and radiator support off, cleaned them up, got the support painted and back in place. I also cleaned up the fan motor housing and the heater case, got a little clear on them to protect them. I'll reinstall them tonight. Hope to get the fender liners done up tonight as well. Once the engine compartment is done, I am moving on to the exciting part... cutting and welding. .

All this beautiful weather has me wanting to get this old pile on the road soon.

Location: ZH, Switzerland		Today I went to Derendinger to pick up the front drums with new bearings. Suddenly I installed the front drums and the LH nut locked the hole for the cotter pin at 10 Nm. So I turned the screw back until I could put in the cotter pin. Actually the torque of the nut is near zero.
Then I bled the brake cylinders at all four corners. I did three rounds. At the third round the wife of the landlord helped (at the steering wheel, applying the brake pedal). Always I kept an eye to the MC to refill before it would be empty. I tried to adjust the brake shoes. I hope I did it correct.
Then I mounted the wheels, tightened the nuts at the rear axle and let the Chrysli back to the floor. Of course I wanted to test it. Little bit backward and forward is okay. The brake pedal seems to have a longer travel now. When I stepped to the brake pedal quite fast the wheels locked and the brake pedal didn't touch the floor. The engine sounds good. But I guess there is a toe out instead of a toe in at the front axle... I'll check it at a shop /w steering measurement equipment.

Happy Motoring!

Dieter

BTW: at the floor there is everything okay with the propeller shaft, the u-joint and the trunnion - no vibration, no noise.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Good Dieter, happy that you finally have some good progress! Check the adjustment of the brake shoes once again - if you do not have anything else as a test, a gravel road will give you answers if you adjusted the brakes correctly. Just apply full brake at low speed and feel if the steering wheel pulls to one side or not. Measure the brake tracks - old "raggare" trick

Location: ZH, Switzerland		When I slammed the brake at the quite slow speed (in the barn) I didn't feel any reaction in the steering wheel. I think the garage (Winter Ford, Kaisten) would have a brake test stand as well as a chassis alignment test stand. I'm afraid - actually I don't know where a gravel road is around here (where not a passing prohibited sign is).

Happy Motoring!

Location: Netherlands		Sali Dieter, congratulations on getting your brakes sorted! And the loss of the drive shaft noise! Bet you're one happy man now...
I think you now officially have the most discussed and worked on brakes on the planet, that should well impress your local MFK for years to come...

A little more travel on the pedal was to be expected as the shoes now have to travel to meet the drum, before they were already there...
It's allso normal that the nut locks slightly different due to new bearing tolerances...I know Derendinger well, they do quality stuff...

Now for some happy motoring hopefully..

Location: Signal Mountain, TN		Monday after work I sanded the front inner fenders down, got me some primer on them, and some Semi-gloss black. They look NOICE.

Tuesday I was falling asleep standing up when I got home, so I stayed out of the garage.

Wednesday evening I got the undercoating cleaned up and patched up on the undersides of the fender wells. Most of it was still intact, so I just shot a thin overall coat, and heavier in the few spots were it had come loose after the pressure washer. I also got the heater case and fan housing and motor mounted back on the firewall.

Tonight I Hope to get the inner fenders bolted back up and the wiring all run and connected up as well.

Should be starting on the body this weekend.

A couple days later, towed to the shop, just to finds out the problem is the distributer and others are bad. $922 later. The car? A 1993 Camaro Z28 RT1. Nothing simple here. Can't wait till the Windsor is done.

Location: ZH, Switzerland		I measured the toe in/toe out at my Chrysli. The result was 1 9/16" toe out. Ways too much. It was visible from the back with sight to the front. Within several loops I adjusted to 1/16" toe in. I know the measurement should be 1/8" toe in. But the result I got is much better than the initial condition. So I'm waiting for better weather condition to do a test run.

Happy Motoring!

Dieter

God, what a DORK I am, really........... talk about single mindedness.

I was searching for power window info while multi-tasking and writing this post. It's power antennas adapted to the antenna bases.

I was looking at the SPAL power window kits at the time.


Such a Duh sometimes.

Location: Oconomowoc Wi		yeah.... the Plater called to say that they received my bases and it would be $140 bucks to show plate and ship back to me.
Having never working wit a plater before, it seemed reasonable enough, but I don't have any experience to gage against.

Location: Signal Mountain, TN		Got most of the inner rocker in... cut away all of the remaining wreck damage in the rear corner floor by the wheel well. Straightened the wheel well itself.... I had to stop so I could get a refill on my gas bottle... picked that up at lunch time....

Also, the NOS fairy dropped me off a little package in the mailbox... an oil filter adapter plate so I can change over to a spin-on. Go ahead... Just call me lazy.... I will be smiling every time I don't look down and see a drip coming from the canister.
