Great video! You are an excellent teacher. Your brakes are just like the set up on my '68 Fury. When I first got the car in 2009, it had an odd tendency to self over adjust the rear brakes which apparently was an odd '68 only problem. The fix was to get the 1969 and up self adjuster kit which I got from Rock Auto. The new self adjusters look just like what you have on the '72 Chrysler and solved the problem neatly which when I got new brake shoes, there was a use for that pin finally. That brake tool you're using is a godsend. The one I have is at least forty or more years old and saves me a lot of grief.

Thankyou for your kind words Patrick. I do my best to help people do this kind of thing for themselves if they've had no previous experience. It's not as daunting as it first appears when you're able to see how it's done beforehand. By the sounds of it; 68 was possibly the change over year for the self adjusters?!

Great job George. I have a 67 300 which I've done numerous times. Nice tutorials. The only thing I hate about these drum brakes up front is that they are very finiky. You have to adjust both just right so the steering wheel doesn't pull to one side when braking. I also have issues sometimes when making sharp turns you hear the brake shoe grinding against the drum. It mostly occurs when making a sharp right turn.

I'm sorry George, but the brake springs for the rear adjusters were indeed installed correctly. You have them installed backwards. The short end of the springs go on the brake shoe side. Also, the front brakes were pre-assembled onto the backing plate before they are attached to the spindle from the factory for ease of assembly. Good show dude. 😉
@SortedGeorgeGarage Жыл бұрын
Thanks Ghett SUMM, but both sides were different, so I went with what looked and felt safer. Any bad jolt and that short end of the spring would have come out of the shoe for sure, especially on the new shoes anyway 👍🏻 Thanks for the info on the front drums... I wondered why they were so hard to access 🤣🤣🤣

@SortedGeorgeGarage7 ай бұрын
To be honest Kevin, the only thing that would give a hissing sound is air, and the only parts of the brakes that uses air would be the servo, hose from servo to pcv valve or pcv valve itself. I'd start with them. Hope it helps. SGG 😃👍🏻

@@SortedGeorgeGarage Its on my hot rod which happens to be 55 F100. All I know its a 742 Diff 8 3/4 axle with 11" drums. Currently no self-adjuster just a spring. I'm curious your thoughts though. is it wise to just keep current configuration with no self-adjuster or do you foresee any issues if I upgraded the springs to have a self-adjuster? Any advice will do. I'm learning as I go :) - Great videos btw.

You can see the slight difference in the self adjustment mechanism. Some people like the self adjusters, some people just ditch them if they can't work out how it all works 🤣🤣 It won't matter either way if you have them or not, it just means you'll have to keep an eye on your rear brakes and adjust manually that's all bud.
