Re: Rear Brakes
I'm a couple of hours into this same task (replacing rear brakes). I have the added job of rebuilding wheel cylinders since one of them leaking is the reason for the brake job. I took the drums in to NAPA to have them turned. They couldn't find the min/max specs for my 1969 bus. Is that info posted somewhere?

Re: Rear Brakes
Answering my own question... I found the specs in the Service Manual... amazingly, in the BRAKES section.anotherbluebus wrote: They couldn't find the min/max specs for my 1969 bus. Is that info posted somewhere?

Re: Rear Brakes
never seize hardens up to dried mud in the adjusters, makes adjustment difficult. use wheel bearing grease or brake grease. wipe up all the grease that weeps out after ass'y. Adjust every oil change to keep free. they seem to freeze up if you go to long between adjustments. I still have to pull them apart at least once between brake jobs to free them and lube.

Re: Rear Brakes
Not if you mix it with a little moly grease. Just a touch.

Re: Rear Brakes
I concur. I find a recipe of two parts anti-seize to one part moly keeps things from dripping or flinging or turning into cement.hambone wrote:Not if you mix it with a little moly grease. Just a touch.
