denmarkboy Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I might have the rings, I'll have to look Not sure how long it'd take to get them to you from this side of the border tho What are you doing for exhaust? We built the exhaust from pieces from a 521 and some left over exhaust and muffler from the 510 Ka swap . 1 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Na , we had to pull and flip that diff , so brakes were perfect before that . It's all back together , just needs a follow up bleeding. I figured you meant bleed but got a laugh out of the idea of a blessing ritual for the brakes 6 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I figured you meant bleed but got a laugh out of the idea of a blessing ritual for the brakes I thought blessing all drum brakes was mandatory . Lol ! 4 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I figured you meant bleed but got a laugh out of the idea of a blessing ritual for the brakes Well we did have the brakes blessed by a rabbi, thought if we got it done by a catholic priest as well then they would for sure be safe 3 Quote Link to comment
HOGIE Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I thought blessing all drum brakes was mandatory . Lol ! I did a lot of cursing in the brake job process actually, no blessing 2 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I was about to say, I do a hell of a lot more cursing than I do blessing and drum brakes definitely get a lot of curses out of me Quote Link to comment

HOGIE Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Drove the truck home today from Al's with its own power. Finished a couple last things that it needed for the short trip. Headlights and rings, tapped the holes on one side of the hood, hood latch, and a coolant leak that was found. Also Al hooked up an exhaust hanger in the rear the other day Here it is home On the drive home two things were very apparent, I'm very ready to shot put my Hitachi and by the smell of hot brakes I had an issue. Once home, the front left brake was hot. I backed the brake off pulled the hub and the cylinder was out far, maybe stuck out maybe because the crud in the cylinder. Yes brand new cylinder with shit in it. I'm going to replace the rubber lines now and flush the shit out. 9 Quote Link to comment
