Re: Drum brakes



I put a brand new set of disk brakes on my 64 Dodge 880... SSBC Parts set was around 1100 I think.... Car stops on a dime now!  Kit came with everything needed....

Maybe you are right on the prices, I haven't checked a lot lately but wonder if by using some of the bracket kits on ebay in conjunction with Ford rotors and GM calipers and an adjustable bias valve it could accomplished in the $350 range, The calipers are not expensive at O'Reilly's....just thinking.

At any rate, you have a cool car, I hope you get to enjoy it for a long time.

Well I'd love to, but I don't have the money for all that right now. I know they can run upwards of 500 for a kit. I don't drive it everyday so I figured I won't have to do brakes often at all, but it sure would be nice! I need to get my motor rebuilt first and foremost but it's so expensive! :P

(1964 dodge 880) I took my wheel off the other day to check out my brakes cause they've been making some noise. I've never done a car with front drums and was unaware I needed to pull bearings etc just to pull drum. (used to Chevys where u just hammer it off). Anyways, I looked at it and I have a few questions after doin some searches online for parts along with informational questions:

What is that spring that goes around the drum? I was thinking maybe vibration dampener?

>From looking online, seems the drum is separate from the studs and the bearing housing, but on the car it seems as all one piece. On Rock auto the drum doesn't include these, and one of my studs are stripped (left handed).

I was told the brakes were already done before I bought the car, but the sound in the front left wheel says otherwise. It only does it (squeal metal on metal sound) when I've been driving for a while and brakes are hot I guess. I was gonna go ahead and change them, and while I was there I was gonna change bearings too since I gotta pull them out. Any advice for all this? Manual talks about certain brake tools and stuff to remove do I really need them?

Thanks for putting up with this long and prolly redundant post! Lol
