I've never had to pull an axle like that before to do a brake job Bill. You made it look fairly easy.

Have a great New Year.

Oh yeah I remember doing that job before those two nuts came off easy for you. I had to buy a $60 dollar socket to get mine off . Happy holidays

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I recently changed my shoes, drums and some of the springs and had it way less tight than you showed. This was on my 97 suburban c1500. I drove 15 miles to work and one side was smoking a lot. Ever seen the adjusters tighten up to the point that you have to pry the drum off? I have no idea what I did wrong but there was a lot of smoke. I took off the drums and couldn't see anything wrong other than the one side being tight.

I have never sanded or put any grease on the surfaces where the shoes ride... seems so obvious when you did it...i ll be doing that from now on

Nicely done Bill, another step closer to a test drive with the truck. 🫵🏼💯🆒
