greg g Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 There is a very simple one on the Graham Paige club website in their repair section. Some scrap wood, threaded rod and some hardware store parts. It has been posted on this forum a number of times. You might find a direct link by searching Graham Paige.

P15-D24 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 The POC one uses a 62MS Flangette (bearing holder) and the correct bearing. Read the Brakes article off the Tech menu item. I made one and used it with a dial indicator. Worked fine. Later on I picked up a Ammco 1750 and use it instead. Both will get the job done.

RobertKB Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I bought a home made brake tool from a forum member some time back but I cannot remember who it was. I think his name was Dave but not positive. Looks like it will work fine. I tried doing a search, without success, as he offered to make some for any members who wanted one for $25. I will get a chance to use it when I do the brakes on my '51 project. Rockwood, aka C38Spitfire6, also got one so maybe he will chime in.

TJM Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I looked up the referenced simple version...simple but looks like it would work pretty well and be a time saver. I have brake work first thing as soon as the snow melts and the car is back in the home garage...so I'm checking out all the reading on the issue. http://www.graham-paige.com/tech.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
