    Ahhhh, so you couldn't find the secret passage to the brake
article?!  Try this...   www.autohobbydigest.com/axlepul.html
I went to the very bottom of the 8 3/4 article, and there was an address
at the very bottom right hand side of the page, for autohobbydigest.com
there...searched a little under tech or info and found the article on
the brakes.
