Hey guys - I've been busy with other matters, but also waiting for parts to come in ..1 part/tool held me up for 3 weeks. Finally I jumped on to adding the hardware to my front brake(s) and, still having issues on the pass side front wheel ( the one that had the blown bearing and damage ). So if...

I'll just cover all the bases, and have it in case I need it. Thanks

Great ...better prices. I see there a Shoe Hold Down Kit, a Brake Hardware Kit, and a Self Adjuster Repair Kit ...This is new to me, but it I think I just need the hardware and self adjuster kits, and not the Hold Down kit ...do I have that right?

Hey fellas. So I started to re-address the brake assembly and bearings etc... to try and get things properly set following many of the tips from this thread. Remember this is my first time working on this, so much is new to me. So I noticed to today that it appears I'm missing many little parts...

Ok doesn't seem too daunting... I see a few designs of the measuring tool, but this on at Amazon seems to be the most used and popular for those like me on a tight budget. Would this be a good on to get? HERE

Right now it's only very slightly pulling to one side when braking, but I've not been braking too hard or going too fast. it usually will show a pulling to one side better when going at a decent speed and then braking harder.

All good info- thank you all...I suspected I would need to dive back into that wheel. SO I've never messed or adjusted the brakes on something like this, but I never did the bearing job either until now. Is what I need to do with the brake shoes, measuring, and manually adjusting a tough job...

Hey guys it's me again...about my '65 Imperial. I had to install new front end wheel bearings. The pass side actually failed on me and welded itself to the spindle. After a good time cleaning that up, I had to get another hub/drum assembly from Murray park, as my hub was too badly damaged to...

Yup Im going that route ...and save some pain. Thanks All

Great to here about the suction/siphon method via the dipstick tube...thanks for the tip on that. Yes I forgot about the torque converter and did not factor that ...bonehead move, but a lesson too. Thanks all!

So gents, after repairing my leaking speed-o cable, replacing the gasket on the parking cable housing, and dropping the transmission pan and changing the filter, etc... I at last was ready to add back the tranny fluid and start the next phase. My manual says that my tranny fluid capacity for my...

Ok ..so the speedo cable is done. That is to say I've installed the 2 new seals and hopefully there will be no more tranny fluid leaks from that cable. I'm also changing out the pan seal and filter while I'm in the area and loosing tranny fluid anyway. This brings me to my other question...

Yes this brings up another point. The Clip. should the inner seal rest on the clip, above the clip indentations, flush with the top of the pinion? or go below the clip and bottom out inside the base of the pinion? If you see the end of my speedo cable in post# 10, it has a stem that protrudes at...

Thanks for the replies..sorry for my confusion, but I'm new to this pinion speedo thing and it's a messy affair putting in these seals. From what I gather from the replies, I'm still not sure which direction I face the inner seal. So I'm posting a picture A and a picture B ...tell me which is...

Okay so this is the direction you are placing it...? like so?
