Thanks H&B, big help for my '71 F250; it was almost exactly the same. Amazed you did most of it one handed! You should start some crowd funding for a camera phone tripod or some sort of stand. :-)

I'm having trouble taking the rear drums off. Am I missing something? Any tips?
@hairnbeard6 жыл бұрын
David Spidle it has to come off evenly.. bang the shit out of it with a hammer.. maybe the shoes are jammed against it.. reach in and loosen the spring through the hole with a flathead. the opposite way the video shows of spreading them toward the end

Ha, I was an idiot. Still had my emergency brake on. Let it go and it came right off.

Great video. I learned a LOT and haven't even seen #2 or 3 yet. You really need to get a tripod though. I think your videos are way too good to not have a tripod. I just found your channel because of this brake series so maybe you've upgraded by now. Not hating by the way, but rather I'm saying that the quality of your video should be as good as the content you are providing! The tripod would allow you to use both hands and also give the viewer a much better view without all the bouncing around. Great info though for sure!

Thank you very much, I have since purchased a tripod. I plan to put it to more use. Would be great it I had someone to record for me.

I'm replacing the front and rear brakes on my 1964 Mercury Montclair. The front brakes on it are very similar to a 1964 Ford Galaxie, since both cars use the same frame. The only difference is the front wheel cylinders are held on by one 1 1/4 inch bolt and nut. Its a pain to get off. I havent figured out how to remove it yet....

Southern Mechanics damn i hope that works out keep checking online , if your replacing it anyway maybe heat... but make sure you dont heat other parts your keeping and warp them? are you sure its the right bolt and not the spindle.. im just guessing good luck

Hair and Beard I went down to a flea market thats by my house and I borrowed a 1 1/4 wrench. I was able to get the nut off the drivers side but the one on the passenger side is soooooo stuck. I cannot figure out how to get it to unscrew! Ive tried everything!

Main question how does the truck stop with the modern brake shoes ? I was told by a brake shop oh we don't touch older truck like yours we had too many issues the modern shoes do not stop as well as they did back in the day when they had asbestos pads . He referred me to a guy who makes his own brake linings and specializes in order truck ,cars with drums and low pressure systems so how did it stop ??????

Bamboozel96 it stops well, but slower, the problrm with most including mine is that there often no brake booster. I have since upgraded to disc front and rear. That was something temporary. So i my opinion if you have a f100, buy 1973 and up spindles and change to disc
@hairnbeard6 жыл бұрын
Bamboozel96 f series, sorry. 73' and up disc is standard, way cheaper then a full ifs swap
@TheThirdWheel6186 жыл бұрын
Hair and Beard cool I have a 69 250 it does have a booster whether or not that was factory I don't know it had /P/S and A/C so I'm assuming it was yeah they told me not to use the shoes at auto zone etc said it wouldn't stop well and refer me to a custom brake guy I would do it myself but the 250 has a heavy rear axle it must be pulled out to take the drum off I don't want to deal with all that .
@TheThirdWheel6186 жыл бұрын
Hair and Beard I agree with that I will need to look into finding a 73 up F 250 spindle with disc .
@hairnbeard6 жыл бұрын
Thats the way i would go.. and the other option is ordering 73' parts from part store. Either way i encourage you to do the work yourself. Have fun

The second you hit that drum and the outer wheel bearing hit the ground, it was garbage and should not have been re used

Also touching the linings with your greasy oily hands and gloves is terrible, I'm surprised the truck still stopped after that, the linings ABSORB all Oil that touches them, and you can't get it out with brake cleaner. Kinda silly showing people how to do brakes when you don't even know how to do them properly yourself.
