Scarebird is sbp

Ah I looked on rock auto but forgot to check AutoZone duh! Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know what size the cylinders are in a 9" drum master cylinder forfor man brakes?

If I'm rading this right, when you start the car the pedal goes to the floor without you even pressing on it? If so, defective brake booster is my diagnoses.

Seems like a maintenance nightmare to swedge the studs to the drums considering I've never seen new drums with hubs. Why did they make such a dumb setup? My drums have never been fused to my hubs and the setup works just fine.

My question is, if your car is running 10" drums and this guy is selling 9" shoes, how did you even get in an arguement with him and why are you continuing to waste your time with him? The shoes don't fit your car so don't waste your time, thats my advice. Unless you have too much time on your...

If by any chance you end up ruining the hub while trying to get this fixed, (it's easy to do when lugs spin) I have 3 good ones laying around and I would let one go for shipping. I suspect the adaptors are the problem. Sorry I can't halp more. Good luck.:glasses7:

Lemme get this right, you need a front hub for your 64 Dart and its sbp and 9" brakes? If I am right pm me, I might can hook you up.

Ok, makes way more sense. Never heard of needing special pullers before. I'll be sure to remember that.

I think I am a little lost here...

Cool! Thanks for clearing that up for me! Do you know what bp the celebrity rotors are to begin with? And on a side note, for some reason I have never had an issue with stuck drums on my car before. Reletives cars, customer cars, any vehicle but mine and my dads, yes they get stuck. Odd huh?

What all gors into the scarebird swap? Ive heard of it and seen it before but never have been able to track much info on it.

I always take an adjustable wrench or channel locks and spin the drum in counter clockwise while tightening. Get it real good and tight once to seat the bearings, enough to stop the drum from spinning. Continue spinning the drum while you back the nut off two turns and then torque it just past...

I think like 8ft-lbs.

Oh god.... The cross referencing sounds fun....

So I've decided after years of having fun with manual brakes that I think it may be time to upgrade to power brakes. My dart has 4 wheel drums and even though the stopping power is great for me, it doesn't do it for my sister who occasionally needs to drive my car. She had knee surgery about a...

I hate power brakes on modern cars.

I've never seen DOT 5 deteriorate rubber parts in a system designed for DOT 3, 4 and 5.1. But I'm just going off what I learned in the textbooks in automotive. Dan hit everything on the head, he knows his facts. To harpe on something he said, DOT 3 and 4 break fluid are compatible with each...

DOT 5 will eat all your rubber up unless you change it all out for components compatible with Silocone based fluids does it not?
