>Standard equipment brakes (not police car, station wagon or Fury) used 11"
X
>2" shoes ... front and rear. The pin that protrudes through the small hole
>on each of the wheels is simply an alignment pin and does not hold the
drums
>on. On the rear axle the drum is press-fit and secured with a large nut.
>Rear drums require a hub puller for removal. Any other type puller will
>destroy the drum. Front drums are just conventional design.

>Should you require any parts ... I have both old stock rebuilt and new old
>stock brake shoes. The advantage to old stock shoes is they are made with
>quality asbestos linings, not the junk they make them use today. A box
>contains 4 shoes which will do 2 wheels. Price per box for the new shoes
is
>$50 and price per box rebuilt is $40 outright. No core charge or return of
>old shoes is necessary. Price per box postage is $10 US.

>I should have new front wheel cylinders at $125 a set of 4, but have no
>rears at present.

>>Greetings 4ward lookers;
>>
>> I use my 58 Plymouth Belvedere 2 Dr. as a daily driver during the
>>summer months. I have had the car for about 10 years now and have never
>>done a thing with my brakes, but now the time has come. What size are the
>>drums and shoes on these cars. I am not sure how to measure that type of
>>drum as it is different. I have never really paid attention to other
brake
>>questions on this list as I never had a reason too. Also, does the peg
>that
>>sticks through the rim also hold the drum on the axle or what? I walk to
>>work in the winter months and now I am getting a little antsy pantsy to
>>drive again now that the snow and salt has flowed into the rivers to
>pollute
>>our oceans.
>>
>>Thanks in advance.........
