To The Group; I received the brake assembly I ordered from Bob Hoffmeister and started working on the left front brake again. One thing I discovered while looking at the original brake shoe support plate assembly was that it looked slightly bowed looking at it on edge. I took my steel carpenter's square and held it against one side of the assembly and sure enough there was about a 1/32" to 1/16" bow to the assembly. I have cleaned up and freed the brake shoe adjusting cams after applying some liquid wrench ti the one I got from Bob. I cleaned all the surface rust I could get to and now I have some questions: Should I get all the oil from the liquid wrench off and then treat the steel plates with a corrosion protector product? If corrosion protector is called for, what brand and type would you recommend? Should the brake cylinders have some 3-M caulking compound placed on the mounting surface of the dust shield/back-up plate? (The original dust shields that came with the car had no caulk around the wheel cylinders, but I have no way to know if it had some originally). Joe |
