Pulling/removing Brakes Drums on CJ3a/CJ2a

[dodjh]

Bob...they must have.  Today I picked up two (2) lengths of the,"WORKABLE," steel brake line, 40" lengths. One section for the pumkin

line and the other for the M/C to Tee on front axle tube.

Haven't bent any line in a while!

I should be prettty good by the time I finish the back lines!

On the front brakes, does the long shoe face the front or rear?

Thanks

[dodjh]

I looked and found out that on the 11" shoes, the long shoe always faces forward.

If anyone has a comment, please poat it.

Thanks.

Does anyone know of a link to show DBL flaring a brake line?

I bought 3/16" line and my old looks like a 1/4".

Also the Hub seal in one Brake Hub is leaking...the Seal # is CR 21101.  Is it suppose to be flush with the outer edge of the inside of the drum...not sunk down in?

This video was helpful for me.  I choose this one because he used the same double flare tool I have.  

He does a pretty good job of describing the process. It's not difficult to do.  It is critical to file the cut smooth as he describes.

Thank you athawk11

athawk11...that is the first one I picked on Youtube and it played 4 1/2 minutes and stopped.  Maybe it will play through this time.

Well...I have all front shoes, W/C, M/C, all new lines and ready to bleed to remove air.

To adjust the M/C how do I know how far out to extend the rod for the piston in the M/C?

Doesn't the brake pedal adjustment dictate how far to adjust the plunger rod?

Thank You
