You are a mad man I bleed brakes once then never think bout it again.. i also so far put 50 miles a year on my car

Its a lot less of a PIA than replacing pistons and calipers.

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

Was it the same type of brake system as on your car?
There's two flavors of bendix action that mopar used later 60s - 70s but there are other designs of drum brake systems out there.

All the same. Short story is, I had to remove MC to take off the valve cover to check and adjust my valve lash.................Hemi problems in an A-body engine bay.

Not a lot, I replaced them all last year with all new parts, and they were working well. Even though all new wheel cylinders, as you guys have said, even brand new, can go bad these days.............

I haven't gotten any bad new parts but people do.... and most people that have issues with drum brakes usually don't know how to adjust them properly or put the shoes on the wrong side and ****... i love drums.

I like the look with the black rear wheels and slots on the front. I am going to run this for a while. I also got the slots mounted to new tires and can throw them back on as well.

That car would look good in a potatoe sack. Dress her any way you want and she is still killer!

BTW.. if you are even questioning the wheel cyl, just get a new one they are like $20 still.. not worth even messing with

I bought new ones for my Ragtop and 2 rebuild kits. I put the new ones on and leisurely rebuilt the originals and packed them in the boxes the new came in for spares. Small hone for cleaning the cylinders and the rest was easy peasey.

Agree. Also no one trues the drums and matches the shoes anymore.

i haven't seen one in like 25 years... even stores here don't turn anything anymore.

NAPA here said that their partner shop shut down a few years back

 

[Mattax]

Yup. Last time I had to bring the drums to a East Coast Machine to get turned. Then gave porterfield the diameters so they could arc the linings.

Here's what can happen to pistons when the fluid gets enough moisture in them.
