Hello all, Redoing the rear brakes after 30 years was quite an experience. Couldn't back off the adjusting stars because of all the brake crud. Rented a slap hammer and bolted it to the drum. After beating the hell out of this I added a torch and broke the drums free. Definitely the original stuff. Sheared off a new bleeder bolt but canabalized one of the old wheel cylinders and finally bled it out and voila!, she STOPS. Noticed when I got up to speed though that there was poor on center feel and a little wandering as I motored down the road. Fair wind, and with sagging rear end and empty trunk, I wonder if this could be responsible versus ball joint problems. Not too much movement when I pull on the top of the tire. Also, is it a big deal to add on the oil filter kit? Thanks for your patience. regards, Kevin 68 fastback ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
