I wanted to close the loop if anyone else sees this post in the future. It’s been a couple weeks and no issues! Brakes working great. What I...
Cool. does anyone know where I can buy a gasket? The ones I have got online are to large. Horizontal bolt to bolt is 4.5 inches and vertical bolt...
So made some progress. No drain plug. I tried to use my fluid transfer hand pump down the vent hole and couldn’t get any fluid out. So decided to...
Cool yeah I’ll give it another look and if no luck I’ll try my hand pump. I got from Napa: GEAR OIL 90WT GL1 that I run in my 3 speed top loader....
Thank you all for the insight. So since I can’t see any drain plugs in the ring and pinion section. My options are: 1) completely disassemble to...
Yes I couldn’t see a drain plug on the ring and pinion section either. If I remove the lower gear in the QC case (assuming it just pulls out…?)...
I went to drain the fluid on my grandpas halibrand quick change rear end (I think it’s halibrand…?) and got stumped… After removing the plate I...
I’m joining conversation late… I going to be installing new door hinge pins anfter painting and based on sizing I may grind down the threads on...
Cool yeah I’ll give that a watch. I also forgot to mention the spring was annoying me. Something seems off on it. So I ordered another 2 from Bob...
Ok so update. Finally back to roadster while paint dries on my truck hood. got new, old lot made in USA front wheel cylinders. I should have paid...
I forgot the photos…
Replaced my th200 with a th200r4. The th200 is a 3 speed similar to the th350. Took off my Chevy 350. Works-ish, Just being honest. It shifts...
@RICH B and @alchemy im having a hard time conceptualizing the problem. So when the brake is in a neutral non engaged position the large cap sits...
I will have to check the orientation. I want to say they are the same length lining but I could have swapped and don e 2 longs on one wheel and...
I will try bleeding the brake again soon. Painted some fenders on my 1950 f1 this weekend so didn’t have time. I have the brakes adjusted (both...
That is super ingenious. I’ll have to look into engineering something like that. OK, so bleed the brakes last night and took it for a spin after...
Ok I got it on. Did the same thing tonight as last night but was less tired so was able to get it. bleed brakes again and no leaks from new...
Yes on shoes. I just thought of it but I may open up the bleed screw or disconnect the brake line as I’m probably fighting some pressure from the...
I’ll take a photo tonight of the springs. I have one of those tool and had to use a few times ago to get spring on. It did mangle the shoe...
Yes I don’t have strength to pull spring into place, tried vice grips but no luck. I’ll keep trying though but my strength at 38 isn’t what it was...
Another update: I went to replace my wheel cylinders and yes driver side was still leaking and couldn’t see till opened up. So got new wheel...
Update: I honed the driver side wheel cylinder and replaced the caps and plungers. went to take do a test of stopping power and of course...
Cool yes I put a new cap on the 1 inch side but the rebuild kit I got don’t have the larger 1 1/4 cap. The spring in the rebuild kit appears more...
Follow up question… I see the speedway ones I got are 1 1/4x1 but I’ve seen a few 1 3/8x1. I have a 1 inch master cylinder. Would changing to 1...
Ok, honed the cylinder some, seems nice and clean no pitting, put in new spring and plungers. Bleed brakes and strangle when I press the brake...
The plot thickens… Was going to take it for a spin and noticed front driver side had about a tablespoon of brake fluid on rim / ground… plot...
Long update from this weekend: 1) I bleed the breaks and didn’t notice any air bubbles at the bleeder screw hoses but strange thing: I started...
I may try bending with heat. I am horrible at welding :( I also saw someone selling this:...
Not home but I was able to find a shot of the angle in a photo I took. does appear to be more or less straight down but I’ll confirm tomorrow...
Sorry long week at work. I go some homework to do tomorrow. I agree, I don’t think I have the arm strength or leverage to push the push rod in by...
