1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Picture for the file on brake spring and parts locations for re-assembly.
Wheel cylinder pistons pushed in and tie wrapped in place, so I can push the other sides in as well to expel old fluid.
Brake lines removed from rear axle, ready to take the Y splitter/vent stud out of the axle tube.
Bolt put in place to keep the gunk out.
How I depress the emergency brake retainer tabs to release the cable from the brake backing plate.
14mm box end works perfect to hold all the tabs down so you can pull the cable out of the backing plate.
SO SO SOOO relieved to find Timken tapered bearings. Had bad dreams that I was going to find some old style Green rollers.
Yukon modular iron sure grip unit cracked off to drain the gear oil. Good use of Rikki's old dog bowl.
Brakes off, axles out, sure grip pumpkin out, ready to remove the leaf springs.
The answer to the mysterious welded patch on the pot and the new Yukon sure grip unit. MAN that must have made some noise!!
