And I've been looking at the Muir book to help. Looking at fig 8-2 Ryan, You might want to consider removing the rear drums. Not much fun if this hasn't been done in a while as the hub nut may be well rusted in place. However removal of the drums will give you a good look at what is going on behind them. I had an adjusting star completing missing on one of my rear wheels. This will also give you a chance to see how the pads on the shoes are, even though this can be done looking through the holes used for adjusting. Yes use a flathead screw driver & a flashlight helps too...not for adjusting but for seeing. 8^) Tom '68 Fastback (Thumper) '70 Bug (Bailey) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
