OK.. Let's see.. Over the past weekend, I sand blasted the backing plates. Painted them, as well as all the brackets. I painted the hold down springs as well. Mounting the brake shoes on the backing plate is pretty simple. Adding the new wheel cylinders was easy as well. The front brakes were ready to go on.
OK, now. The front wheel brakes are ready to go back on. I have new brake hoses ready as well. I will be buying, bending and installing the new brake lines as well.
The old brake hoses and lines were not in very good condition.
The new brake hose installed on the left front.
Every brake line had to be cut, bent, double flared, and then connected.
Notice the shinny black just above the bending tool. That is ORIGINAL Shinny black paint. That is not a rust through hole.
Finally, the brake line is connected. This is actually over a 2 week span.
