FAQ on brakes needed..
« on: February 26, 2013, 09:26:52 AM »
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.

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.

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

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

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.
