virg R Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 First time, have all brake parts. I am working my way through the install, but I see the challenge ahead is getting the shoes adjusted to the drums without the proper tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 knowing this...and that this stuff is not cheap....try to find the tool, proper brakes and even more is the longer life of the shoes....we have a member here that will loan you the tool via a deposit I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virg R Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I can see having the Ammco brake shoe adjusting tool would be key. I would welcome the opportunity to borrow or rent the tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
