Norm Knowles Posted August 26, 2018 Report Posted August 26, 2018 Need more help. Thanks in advance. Not sure if I have the correct terminology here but going to try. For my 48 Dodge D25C my Shop Manual on page 42 Fig 11 shows a picture of the "cam" on the left side of the wheel cylinder that is fastened to the "support plate". One of mine has been "doctored" with a build up of welding material so it still allows one to change the "heel" setting. However the space between it and the spring clip is at least 1/4 inch and thus allows the shoe to move a bit back and forth from the support plate. Probably a bit more than an 1/8 inch of travel. Will this cause a problem??? If so can the "cam" be removed and replaced??? The "cam" turning nut on the backside of the support plate has a strong looking spring under it. If it can be replaced how do you get it off or do I have to replace the whole support plate??? Quote
P15-D24 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Posted August 26, 2018 I would look for a replacement backing plate from a salvage yard. Quote
48ply1stcar Posted September 5, 2018 Report Posted September 5, 2018 Maybe I missed it, is this the front or rear wheel. With all the brake up-grades on this site I would think that many of the readers have plating plates lying around. Try posting a parts wanted in the classifieds. I'll check my garage for a backer plate. Quote
desoto1939 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Posted September 5, 2018 the eccentric cams can be replaced but the upper half moon I do not think can be replaced Rich HArtung Quote
