Put an want add in the parts wanted forum. You will probably get a few asnwers, with offers. Lots of guys have changed over to front disc, and don't need them. I just sold my last set. Dave

I dont know what you ordered, But your 66 Dart with slant 6, if original has the small 9 inch drums, and 13 inch wheels. Lots of guys swap them out to front disc brakes. You can swap them to the Kelsey-Hayes, 4 inch wheel bolt pattern, or to the 73 up 4.5 inch bolt pattern. Your 13 inch wheels...

I have removed Kelsey-Hayes pistons, that were badly stuck, buy drilling a hole in thru the center of the piston, and then tapinig the hole to 5/16th 18 threads. use a grade 8 bolt, and it will push them right out. Worked for me. Dave

Drilling a hole in the piston will not ruin the calipers. Pistons will probably have to be replaced if it gets to that point. All the ones that I took out like that, were badly pitted. Dave

Here in the rust belt..... some of those pistons can be really hard to remove. What I have done is drill a hole thru the piston(s) you are having trouble with, then tap threads into the piston. Screw a "long" grade 8 bolt with the end rounded off nicely, into the new threads, all the way in...

I rebuilt my vacuum booster on my 69 B-Cuda, it was not hard to do. But if you have no engine vacuum, it wont work properly anyhooo. I got the rebuild parts on E-bay. Their are two different diameters of boosters, for 69, 6 1/2 in, and 7 in, if I am remembering right. The parts cost me about...

Never heard of this show, what channel is it on. Car Fix,???. Dave

Nice job on the lower control arms. I'm doing that to a set of them my self right now.

I rebuilt my booster on my 69 B-Cuda in 2015. I got all the parts from "Harmon Classic Brakes"in Valley Glen Ca. (818-787-7081) George M. Greco, very helpfull. Harmonclassicbrakes.com Midland boosters seem to be like hens teeth. Be advised their are two sizes of midland boosters, a 6 1/2 in...

I,m with mguner, in post #6. I think you are letting the tube stick out to far in the clamp tool. The double flare insert, is the gage for extrusion lenght, on the clamp. You want the tube to stick out the same width as the insert. The inserts are the little round things you put in the end of...

A map gas torch will help you remove them also. Heat the bolt heads, and use a good socket to bust it loose. Thats how I do it, on stuck bolts, and nuts. barracudadave67

Try "Harmon Classic Brakes". That's where i got my rebuild kit from, for my 69 B-Cuda. Hes on ebay also. barracudadave67

Thanks for the replys Guys. I ended up going to a local repair shop, and he just put the drum/hub assy on his air over hy draulic press, and in less than a minute, had the two pieces seperated, and didn't charge me a dime. I couldn't be happier. I looked up buying one of those cutters, and...

I searched, and couldn't find anything. Can someone tell me how to remove the front bearing hubs form the brake drums. I have two 10 inch front hubs I would like to save, and don't want to scrap the hubs with the drums. It dosen't look like the studs can be pressed out easily, and i dont want...

Just be aware that their are 2 different size "Midland-Ross" Boosters. They are also fairly hard to find as a rebuilt unit, and to get parts for. Their is a 6 1/2 in, and a 7 in, or 7 in , and 7 1/2 in. I can't remember right now. The parts are the same, except for the 2 main diaphrams, one of...

Bill Yes the Midland-Ross Kit was around $230.00, with shipping, and a $50.00 core charge on the diaphram with the metal hub center. That is the part that is hard to get. The other diaphram is all rubber. The two sizes are (large) 7 1/2 in, and (small) 6 1/2 in. All other parts are the same...

Nico I just rebuilt the booster on my 69 B-Cuda. I got all the parts from "Harmon Classic Brakes". They have kits you can purchase. You will need to tell them what model booster it is , and who the manufacturer is. A factory service manual is a great help. On my 69, their was 2 different...

Thanks for the info Guys. I went ahead and bought Barkeys parts. barracudadave67

Hi All. Need some knowledge, and advice on brake rotors. Are 10.87 rotors the same as 11 in rotors,??. Will 11 in work on that set up. I was told i need 10.87 rotors. A member here has a set of 11 in rotors for sale, and I'd like to purchase them from him, if they will work with my spindles...

To the OP Jan. I just rebuilt the Power Brake booster in my 69 B-Cuda. It was the dual diaphram Midland-Ross type. Their are two diameter sizes, for the Diaphrams, 6.250 in, and 7.0 (I think is the other size), mine was 6.250. I searched for a rebuilt for almost a year. Their are none around...

I had an oil press line brake on me, right at the sending unit. I made the line for the new press gage, and did not put a coil in it, close to the gage. You want to know where it snapped,??. You guessed it real close to the sending unit, from engine vibration. What a mess, oil all over the...

Not hijacking this........But I am in the process of rounding up parts for my 66 Dart, to change it from 10 in drums to BBJ, LBP front disc and rear drums. I have an A-Body 8 3/4 rear. I take it, I can't use my rear 10 in baking plates, and 10x1 3/4 in shoes, with LBP Dr Diff rear axels. Is that...

I've got the same problem on my 69 B-Cuda. The booster is going, and I can't find one, any where in the country. Tried over a dozen on line places, and no one has a replacement, and can't order them. My 69 is four wheel power drum. barracudadave67

Open both rear bleeders, and let it drain, till you get fluid comming from each bleeder. Do not let the resovoir go empty. Then bleed as normal. barracudadave67

plumcrazy No. I should not leak there. If it does it will make the seals in the booster go bad. Sounds like the rear seal in the MS is leaking. barracudadave67 aka Dave C.

I used Rustoleum Valspar on mine. I painted it after install and bleeding. Use A small short bristle brush, and paint around everything real slow, and carefull. I used a semi flat black. Dave C.

Try here www.megapartsusa.com 1-608-452-2045. I got two from them a few years ago @ $130.00 a pr. Thier probably higher now. they specialize in mopar parts. Dave C.

You could probably take it off and resurface it with a hand file, or on a surface grinder at a machine shop,if their is not to muchof a suface differnce. I did mine on my 67 F.B. with a file, just make sure you kleen it out real good and get all the filings out. Dave C.

One of the after market kits (Stainless Steel Brakes, I think), lets you keep your 4 in BC also. Dave C.
