When installing step bore wheel cylinders....


Recommended Posts

Posted

Does the larger bore go towards the back? I Don't recall it being addressed in the manual (and I'm at the shop and the manual is at home because I forgot it today...). My P-4 has a right and left cylinder for the front and a right and left for the back..... Larger shoe is on the back, and I'm assuming larger bore matches larger friction surface....

Is my logic correct?

It has been years since I did my 38 brakes.

I believe my cylinders were embossed with "LF", (left front), and
"RF", (right front).

All my shoe linings were the same length.

I replaced my shoe linings with Ford Granada shoe linings...(2inchx10inch)...

If still needed: Please find attached the illustration out of the (Plymouth) manual.

Thank you Jan. Saw that illustration when I got home last night. That is the way I installed yesterday morning. :-)

Need to leave the manual with the car, but I wanted to study some things during the week. I'll have it with me next time.
