I'm in the final stages of redoing the brake system on my '32 PB.
The brake adjustment calls for a tool that allows the shoes to be centered
and adjusted without having to constantly put the drum on and off.
I'm looking to beg, borrow but not steal that tool from someone in my area.
Anyone in the Syracuse, NY area that would be willing to help me out?
Thanks in advance. Ken
Seems like the factory manuals called for the use of a tool made by Miller. You can see that here: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showpost.php?p=102548&postcount=1
Aftermarket, the Amco 1750 seems to have been very popular. You can see that at the bottom of this page: http://www.ply33.com/Repair/axle_seal/
You might want to check with your local Plymouth Owners Club region, some have tool loan programs and/or tech help teams that could make one of these tools available to you.
Or, if you take your time you can get close by feel using a procedure like: http://www.ply33.com/Repair/brakes which is also described at http://www40.addr.com/~merc583/mopar/framesets/techtipframeset.html?techtipbodyframe=techtip.html#Anchorbrake (select brake adjustment)
Or you can make your own tool, like this one: http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showpost.php?p=157950&postcount=5
Tod, Thanks for the reply. If no tool shows up,
I'll have to make one modeled after the one pictured. Ken
