Man I wish I had found this thread sooner but how mad can I be?! My parking brake locked up on a long trip and I didn’t realize till it was too late. Ruined my drums and everything inside. I looked and looked for the right brakes and only found some used drums for like $250 or so. Bearings were...

Hi 6pack, I think I'd rather take to a machine shop than try that myself personally. Inertia, there was some deep grinds that could not be cleaned off :/. Also, it looks like the specs on the outside of the drum are different on mine than what the store got. The center area seems raised on...

Hi all, I'm doing the front drums on my 72 Scamp, SBP. I got the drums pulled and ordered the new ones (along with many other items). The new drums appear to come without the wheel stud and the hub. Is the factory hub pressed or brazed in? I cannot figure it out. These pics are of what is on the...

Thanks I appreciate it. I will let you know.

There was a REALLY deep groove in the middle of it that was going to take a lot of material off.

Haha exactly. Car isn't a concourse job. Dont need NOS parts...because i dont care about my car lol

Found the wheel cylinders. Picked those up, along with bearings, shoes, and spring kits this morning. Hoses come in tomorrow morning. Gonna see how that works before also doing the master cylinder.

Cool, thanks for all the input on this! I've never dealt with drums before. The car HAS been garage kept for most of its life (bought from the original family in 2004). It has NON power brakes and occasionally I have to pump the brake once to get it to really grab, so I'm guessing there could be...

Ok cool. I wanted to order parts before I took them apart so my car is down less, so I could get it fixed rather than have them set! Thanks guys. Should I replace anything else while in there?

Hi all. I got a 72 Scamp and I've never replaced the shoes on the car. I'm wanting to do the front ones. 1) What size are these (pics below, not sure how to measure, but from the part where it tapers out in the back to the center of the hub is 5.5 inches)? I wanted to order the right ones...
