Joe: The nut is torqued
to 175 ft. lbs. You need a long bar or as you speculated an impact wrench.
After the nut is off the drum just slips off the shaft. Ernie and The Black Bitc_!! -----Original Message----- OK, everyone, I admit that I thought with a lot of
reading, a little patience, a good dose of perseverence, and some hefty elbow
muscle, I could get the d&%# parking brake off of this car. And while
those attributes have served me well in the past, that piece of this rolling
work of art is determined to stay where it is. I have the drive train disconnected from the drum but
can't seem to loosen the retainer nut to get it away from the back of the
transmission. According to the FSM, I should be able to remove the shaft
flange nut & washer, remove the drum, and get to the innards of the parking
brake, but no such luck here. What am I doin' wrong? Does anyone out there have any experience with this
sort of thing and can offer some suggestions? Is it time for the air tools? Joe Allen, Texas 1961 Crown 4D Southampton |
