Congrats! Sounds like your car is doing much better now. Your car should drive great now, maybe the toe is off? What size and type of wheels and tires are on it now? Don't commpare an old car to a late model car with rack and pinion steering and variable rate springs.

Different size tires will change the measurement to the fender, so will rear suspension height, or amout of weight inside car or fuel tank. Make sure the upper and lower control, arm bolts are loosened so the height change doesn't stress the bushings. Tighten those bolts when car is on the...

How did you remove the old studs? Did you cut the swedge off first? If not you may have ruined the hub and that's why the stud is loose.

B and E body's come standard with 14" wheels even with disc brakes. See B41 and T87

If the wheel cylinder bolts are hard to get to then grind down a wrench so it fits in there. You must remove the hose from the cylinder first To remove the wheel cylinder. Taking off the backing plate is not something to do for the fun of it, leave it alone.

One time I was working on a new to me 60's mopar. My mechanic mopar friend is coming to come over to go,for a ride, and he brought a friend. Before they arrived I took of a front wheel and drum as one piece at the wheel bearings. I'm finishing up cleaning and inspecting the brake and the...

Do they turn OK? Do you have a service manual for your car? Time to get one and do some reading. Front drums are joined onto the hub. The wheel studs are swedged onto the drum to do this. Remove the dust cap, nut and outer wheel bearing and take off hub and drum off in one piece.

Nature of the beast, why you want pretty Paint UNDER the rings?

Toe misadjusted will make it wander all over, not pull. Caster being off makes it pull. did you get a readout of your finished alignment specs? the steering column can be loose, so take your hands off the wheel and the car will still not wander. It may not go the direction you want but it...

Check the toe in. A bad alignment can cause a good car to drive bad.

Here’s your research on a corded 1/2” impact. 8.5 Amp 1/2 in. Impact Wrench with Rocker Switch

I got a 1/2” corded from HF and it will take off pinion nuts. Great as that’s what I want it for. It a quality tool. The downside it is big and heavy, but it has lots of power. yes check out the modern cordless units for general use. I have a Milwaukee 12 volt that is small and it’s very...

On the rear, jack up one side at a time, it will angle the axle and the tire will go in there just fine.

That’s the same as what you have in post#2. Get the other bolt out.

I believe they are the same hub and drum.

Do they both have 11 X 3” front drum brakes?

The B wheel is a GM wheel and was made like that, nothing wrong or damaged.

Whaddya mean “for now”. That tool will try to break the axle flange into pieces, there is nothing that tool can help you with on a 1966 rear axle. The lug studs and flange are one piece, they don’t come apart. That tool won’t be pulling the drum, it doesn’t attach To the drum on your car.

If that second fitting is open then cap it and try the brakes. Don’t remove the valve if the brake problem is fixed. Something may break and then what? Yes some lube or getting it warm will help it come out. It’s just pushed in a rubber grommet.

well written, short and to the point. Thanks! Hey now, this common sense approach is not fashionable these days. We have to have all the latest and greatest tricks in the car to deem it “worthwhile”
