1956 Buick Century Part 3 - Let's Brake It!!! - Time For Brakes - UNR 173

1 bolt missing in that rear wheel. The indexing pin for the wheel wasn't there, but you can get away without that. 3 bolts hold the drum on.

If you change the oil and get it out on the road and hit the passing gear you may get rid of the lifter noise.

I let the car warm up after changing the oil and the lifter noise went away. Thanks for watchin'.

@@up-n-runnin377 Should have got more grease and dirt on those shoes! Helps them turn better...🙄🙄 I know, I know; you've done it this way all your life and never had a problem. Maybe so, but EVERY ENGINEER that tests and designs these things can't be wrong. Just a light sanding to clean the surface is all that's needed. Otherwise, Great job, great video!

[@up-n-runnin377]

Good point. Thanks for watchin'.

[@MonteCarlotta]

Buick was still using king-pins in the front suspension, no ball joints. ('56 Cadillac too!)

[@up-n-runnin377]

Good info. Thanks for watchin'. I appreciate it.

[@craigjorgensen4637]

True. 1957-59 Buicks were the worst ever. Those Kingpins were replaced with ball joints that wore out quickly. Workmanship was terrible in those years. They got better in 1960.

[@justaguy2738]

Where were you able to get the brake parts for this 56?? Thanks

[@up-n-runnin377]

I'll be honest, I don't remember. However, they were not hard to find. I believe they just came from AutoZone or OReilly.

[@up-n-runnin377]

I looked when I got into the shop this morning and the master and booster were rebuilt by Fusick Automotive Products Inc.

@@up-n-runnin377 great , appreciate it thank you very much for the response !!

[@robertopenheimer1451]

You did not clean anything. I can understand a shop doing stuff half-assed because it's not their car.

[@up-n-runnin377]

You're right, I could always do better. Thanks for watchin'.
