Re: IML: Re-installing brake drums on '62/Emergency Brake



The 1962 emergency brake is not with the rear wheels, but on the end of the transmission. It will not effect the rear brake drums.

Hi Joe,

Make sure the emergency brake cable isn't hanging up and forcing the shoes outward. Both shoes should be right up against upper anchor (where the return springs attach) tight. If they aren't you'll have a tough time getting the drums on.

Joe, is it possible the hydraulic wheel cylinder pistons are extended too much? Just thinking, Dave.

I received the brake shoe return springs yesterday from A&D Auto
Parts in North
Royalton, Ohio and started the process of re-installing the drums
today. Even
with the adjusters set for minimum expansion I am having a very
difficult time
of putting the drums back on.. The drum on the right rear side is the
one I
started with and as the drum is put on I am having to use a sledge
hammer to
push it onto the axle shaft. The drum is shaving some of the brake
lining off.
Does this mean I need to remove the drums and shoes and take them all
to the
place that re-lined the shoes and have them arc the shoes to the
drums?

I don't think it should be this difficult! I must be doing something
wrong, but
I can't imagine what since I backed off the adjusters as by feel for
the least
resistance felt.

Thanks in advance.

Joe
