Does happen once in awhile. Are the calipers installed with the breeder screws at the top? If not, never get the air out.

Let me hazzard a guess. The bad studs were on the driver side. Those are left hand thread from the factory. Many of those have been snapped off by trying to turn them counter clockwise trying to remove the nuts. That just tightens them more. Need to turn them clockwise to remove them. Just the...

You can use a stud with a larger dia knurl. Just drill out the hole in the hub to the proper size for the knurl you use. You most drill the hub in a drill press. It is important to get the hole square to the drum mounting surface. You will have to search for the correct stud. You will want to...

I didn't read every reply, so that said these are my thoughts. There is no problem with drilling the rear axles/drums, and front hubs/drums from 4 inch to 4.5 inch. I have been doing it for many years and cars. I made a drill fixture to make it easier. The hub and drum are pretty critical to get...

The parking brake strut does not look like it is installed correctly on the right side. The web of the shoe should sit in the slot of the strut

I have a set of Wilwood rotors/hubs that are 4 1/2 and 4 3/4. Those allow wheels in Mopar, Ford, or GM bolt pattern. Not many people use after market 4 inch bolt pattern wheels

Let us know what happens

Summit has a estimated ship date at the end of the month. That is the fourth time they have changed the ship date to the end of whatever month it has been.

This company has them listed. Pretty pricy but if you need them. Would suggest you call to verify I called them awhile back, but I don't remember whether for front or back. Their website said "in stock" but they weren't...

That is the correct drum. Notice it says "out of stock" EDIT: that might be the front drum

The "A" body 10 inch rear brakes are 10 x 1 3/4

Haven't been available from Centric in quite a while. I'm now sorry I didn't convert my 64 valiant with 9 inch brakes to later "A" body disc on the front and a 8 inch Ford with 10 inch on the rear. Parts available, and large bolt pattern.

Last time I looked (about 2 months ago) no one had any in stock for the rear, and one place for the fronts, and I bought those.

Well it looks like those used drums will be in demand, again. Both the 123.63044 rear drums, and the 123.63007 front drums are next to impossible to find. "AGAIN"

Line is 3/16. make your own using copper/nickel line. Bends and flairs easily.

Since the only thing you really disturbed, was the front calipers, I'm thinking execssive caliper piston movement was the cause of your problem.

Just a FYI O'reilly's auto parts list the rear cables for $18.99 Tha' is actually cheaper then Rock Auto, if you figure shipping. Probably, not in stock, and have to be ordered.

If your not concerned about restoration, go to Rockauto. Rear cables $16.08 ea, intermediate cable $20.79. They don't list the front cable.

Or you could redrill your drums for BBP.

Do you still have them available? I don't need any, right now,but others might. Can you post info/price?

No problem, that's how we all learn. Just an FYI. For a long time those drums were not available new. Then Centric started making them or fixed the catalog. One of the members on here found them and posted the information. I could be wrong, but I think Centric is the only source.

Pretty sure these are the correct brake parts for that rear axle. Drum: Centric 123.63044 Shoes: Centric 11103310 or Wagner PAB331

I never bothered to measure the rear drum "overall" width. I usually measure the "wear" area. If you are measureing the total width, across the full width from the outer edge to the mounting area, that has to be more the 1 3/4. If you allow a 1/4 inch on the inside, and a 1/4 inch on the...

Question? What is the bolt pattern on the axles? All "A" body 8 3/4 rears were small bolt pattern (5x4) from the factory, and the rear shoes were 10 x 1 3/4.

Are you sure? all The wilwoods I have seen, and a set I have on the shelf, are set up for Ford/Mopar 4.5", and Chevy 4.75", not the Mopar 4 inch. Edit Just looked at Wilwoods website, and you are correct. They do offer 4 inch bolt pattern.

I think this is small bolt pattern 1965-72 Dodge, Plymouth "A" body, with 10" drums Wheel Kit

I just did this, last week. Couldn't keep the brake light out every time. 64 Valiant with a 68 dual MC. I had some springs on hand that I used for valve checking, and just shortened one a little, and it seems to work fine.

Just remember the drums are locked onto the hub with the swedge on the wheel studs. You must cut the swedge before removeing the studs or you will ruin the hub. Hubs are not available new, and getting harder to find used.

Correct. Changing the front studs, requires cutting the swedge on the old stud. If you just try to pound/press the old studs out you will ruin the hub.

There are several ways to do this. I just posted the info on the tool designed for the job. Many people are not aware of needing to remove the swedge, and there being a tool available. This used to be a common tool in a mechanics box, but I just recently became aware of it still being available.
