I've got the original tool :<)))) but it still is hard to do! You need to come up with some sort of caliper to measure the radius with. My 57 Power Wagon actually has a small port on the brake drum to allow you to see the setting you have made! ---------- From: Jesus M. Jimenez[SMTP:chemnix@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 21, 1998 10:50 PM To: tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [FWDLK] '55 Brakes Does anybody know the best way to adjust the front brakes on the '55 Ply for toe and heel? I have removed the hubs no less than 5 times and I still have hard to real soft pedal. I have also bled the lines manually everytime I've adjusted them. Is there a tool similar to the one suggested by the manual sold by somebody somewhere that I might be able to get? It seems that the harder part is adjusting the toe clearance because without a gauge one has to be removing the darn drum to adjust the toe by trail and error. Eastwood carries an adjusting caliper type of tool but I don't know how good it is for these type of brakes. Thanks! Jesus - '55 Ply Belvedere |
