  1. We’re about to start a break restoration of 2 Dodge 47 steakbeds. A 2 ton and a 1.5 ton. Working through the original mechanical user guide is helpful but we’re looking for more direction. Advice on required specialty tools and any tips on what to look out for. 1. Master cylinder leaks = will find new gasket. 2. break lines are in tact and holding fluid but should be replaced. 3. No pressure at all when pushing down on break peddle. 4. Will pull all 6 wheels (duel on rear) to start them see if bleeder valves can be carefully loosened). Opening question: What is most likely the case why we’re not feeling any back peddle pressure when pushing down on break? **Have yet to inspect drums and pads = likely need full cleaning/restoring.
  2. I wanted to share a tool I made today to adjust front drum brakes. Utilizing an extra drum from a 1955??? Dodge truck, I was able to press out the wheel studs and separate the hub from the drum. Then welded a couple nuts to the hub. Drilled a square hole in a piece of steel plate and inserted a ½" carriage bolt and nut to complete the tool. It's so easy to use. 1) lay drum upside down and set the hub tool on top of the drum hub. 2) turn the bolt in or out until the inside edge of the plate is inline with the inside of the drum surface. 3) turn bolt 1/4 turn in and tighten nut to hold plate. 4) place tool on spindle (with bearings and castle nut) 5) adjust lower major adjustment bolts followed by minor adjustments. 6) rotate tool and adjust until desired clearance is achieved 7) remove tool and attach drum, check for drag, and readjust if necessary. Worked for me, hope someone can use this simple tool design to adjust their brakes, enjoy!
