I have never had 9 inch drums on anything, but I'm trying to help a friend fix the front brakes on her 1965 Barracuda. What is the recommended way to separate the drums from the hubs? I presume that it means pressing the studs far enough down in the hub to release the drum? They don't appear...

As I was finishing the front end on my 70 Dart GT, I completely rebuilt the factory KH brakes. That included rotors made by Centric that I got from Rock Auto. All new front end parts, rebuilt, and on one side, replaced hubs, with fresh bearings and seals, new rotors, new calipers, all new hard...

So I'm building a 1970 Dart and completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) replaced the brake system. It's a factory KH front brake system wiith 10 inch drums out back. When you start the car the Brake System light comes on on the dash. When you put moderate pressure on the pedal it goes out. It's...

I installed a whole new original style KH disc brake set up with power booster in my 1970 Dart - all new lines, calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses, brake hardware in the back, pads shoes, etc. When I turn the key on ('run') the Brake System light on the dash comes on and it stays on when I push...

I'm putting together a 1970 Dart GT with original Kelsey Hayes power disc brakes. I'm using a stock type booster with the big bracket set up. I can't seem to locate the right hose for vacuum. 3/8 seems too small and 1/2 inch is way too big. I just got some 15/32 from NAPA, but again seems...

I'm working on a 70 Dart with K/H discs. I can't read the minimum Thickness number cast in the disc. Does someone know what the number is? I got rebuilt calipers and pads from Rock Auto, but they didn't come with the clips that retain the pads and keep them from rattling around. I looked...

So this is my first time rebuilding KH discs. They are on my 70 Dart. There are the remains of a foam gasket between the spindle and the dust shield. It looks to be a triangular gasket that has holes for the 3 bolts. Like I said, these were really degraded so it's hard to tell what they...

I'm looking for a set of calipers for my 70 Dart. I see that Rock Auto has Cardone calipers available. Are these good quality replacements? I have seen them reviewed here but all threads are years old - wondering if they are still good to use.

OK brake gurus, try this one: 1970 dart. stock 4 wheel drums, V8 car (10 inch drums) all brakes and hardware appear to be in fine shape, mostly new (3,000 miles) when rolling at low speed (driveway, parking lot) and I barely hit the pedal the car pulls lightly to the left, just enough to...
