Ironically, I am starting a stock break project.  MC piston is seized.  Pulled a rear drum last night to find a wheel cylinder filled with crud.  This Willys sat idle for 25 years.  It is a 2A, but that shouldn't bother anyone.

I'll try to get something started.

I picked my tool up at a swap meet, 15 bucks.  He did not know what it was for....But I did. :)

This picture might be useful too. It shows the difference between early and late 9" drums.

I can pop a rear off my '49 and snap some pictures. Don't really want to yank anything apart though. The brakes are woking great now.

Hi guys....we have a tech FAQ section here, with a few posts on how to do basic and not so basic jobs on your jeeps in it.  It has been brought to my attention that we don't have a FAQ post on HOW TO ADJUST the stock brakes.  Anyone up to the challenge?

If you are doing brakes this winter why not take a few pictures and download them to the site ?? We can edit and organize the results into a good FAQ post.  

We could also use a how to install new shoes and wheel cylinders and a how to on removing the rear hubs in the FAQ section.  We do have some brake stuff on the main page but it is incomplete.
