Larry,
It’s not
hard. They have a star wheel just like all the Mopar brakes in the late 60s.
The procedure is in the Shop Manual, in the Brakes section. When I have them
apart, I usually place a film of grease on the threaded section of the star
wheel and on the adjusting sleeve so they don’t rust up tight a few years
later.
If the
linings are worn out, you can have new linings bonded on you old shoes by any
competent brake re-lining service. Just make sure they use the proper thickness
material (5/32 inch).

Subject: [FWDLK] Parking Brake
Adjustment
Is there an easy way to adjust the parking brake on a
60 Chrysler (has the integrated transmission parking brake)? Mine has
newer shoes (which are hard to find - does anyone have any sources?), but need
adjusted.
Thanks,
Larry (Akron)
