sam: Thank you for the full explanation of how you get the full diameter of the drum.  I am not putting down the tool that was designed by Keith. If it works for you and everyone else that is great.  Yes the tool price is a great purchase for the average day home mechanic.

Since I do not need the new tool I was not knowledgeable of how the tool was designed to work and that is why I have asked the questions.

Others might have the same question but no one ever stated how the tool was correctly used or even put and instruction sheet out into the technical section on the Forum.

Is anyone going to put out some information on how to use the newer tool?

 

Thanks,

Rich,

 

I have posted several times in this forum (beginning in 2019 prior to when a version of the tool was offered for sale) how to use my "new" tool to adjust the brakes so they will be concentric to the drums. As I stated in a previous post, here again is my explanation of how the tool is used. I don't know what else to say in this regard, it really is a simple process.

I will defer to the discretion of the forum mods as to whether or not my thread about using the tool should be added to our forum's Tech and Resources sections.

I am getting ready to make a brake adjustment on my newly installed brakes on my 48 DeSoto bus. coupe.  I have the Miller brake gauge tool kit, but don't really understand how to set it up.  I don't have any instructions.  The sleeves or cylinders that I have are 32, 33, 41, 47, 70, 74.  I read that the 41 sleeve is for post 1938 Mopars for the rear axle.  Does anyone know what sleeve is for the front axle? Also I don't know how to set up the tools for measuring the brake drum.  I think you have to balance it on those cone shaped pieces somehow.  Does anyone have any more information?  Thanks, Marc.
