thanks for the lesson ! I’m doing a 83 chevy P30 van with dually wheels and I sure don’t have the clearance between the leaf spring and the back of the drum that you obviously have, so I’ve found myself undertaking the removal of the leaf springs to accomplish the replacement of a stripped bleeder screw that has had my van down now for months, I’ve now purchased all the parts I required ( I thought ) like shackles, springs and shocks being that my need to bleed my brakes was troubled by a single sstripped out bleeder screw !!! Well like usual, back to the auto parts store and harbor freight for more stuff !!!
@johnknowing-zr8de10 ай бұрын
I have an 88 Chevy 1 ton dump Same problem you have. So I'm going to try and remove the wheel cylinder pull it out from the back plater then I can bleed it by using clamps on the plunger pins to holds it put pressure through the bleed screw . OR take the U bolts that holds the axle to the rear. Now I can jack up the frame and by doing so the leaf springs goes up away from axle and out of the way.

Really nice video. I've been trying to decide if I want to tackle this project on my 99 K1500. Your video was actually the most informative I've seen at this point. The main thing I liked was that you actually showed how to support the frame properly. The way you did it was what I believe I needed to do, but this is the only video that has actually shown it. I really appreciate you taking the time to upload your video!

Hey Jay, just curious what your reason was for replacing your leaf springs?? 🤔
@shadyjaysgarage51762 жыл бұрын
Had been having a lot of rear end drop towing my Nova or Monte Carlo. Also getting an excessive chevy lean. I didn't trust just doing a side-swap to balance it out due to how much my tail end was dropping towing. You can see by the gaps and weld points that the springs were quite old, just time for them to go. Improved the ride and towing.

Yes, it would be very similar. You may have a different spindle nut socket set up, some years had an inner and outer nut. And I will actually be putting together a drum and shoe video in the next month or so.

Is it normal for the drive shaft to spin when u spin the drum? I feel like I messed up with the spindle nuts or something
@shadyjaysgarage51762 жыл бұрын
If you have the floating axle rear end like the 14-bolt your axle is out so there should be no way to spin the drive shaft until the axle is reinstalled. If its spinning with your axle installed then that is proper.

Linda, thank you for the compliments! I'm not sure exactly which type of casters/camber shims you are installing, and sadly I don't have handy access to a CJ to do a video. I poked around a bit and hope this link might help some in the short term, not the best video but best I could find so far. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5OXc6V4pbqmoqs If you have a part number on what you're installing I can look for more specifics.

Thanks! And yes, the print on the outside that shows max diameter will indicate the 11 inch versus 13 inch drum system!
