Datsundude123 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hey guys I'm new to this forum and sense I figured out how to post pictures from my phone I've decided to make a build thread on my 1977 Datsun 620 It's a slow build but I'm hoping by the time I'm done my truck will look amazing! She's not running at the moment because I'm waiting on my electronic distributor but what I've done so far is I've painted mostly everything thing in the engine bay, completely took the motor apart cleaning it and putting new gaskets on it, the inside isn't too bad! I've got some cheapish leather racing seats. Other than the 1 small crack in the dash it's pretty clean. She's got a few rust holes on the bed but I'm taking it over to my brothers soon and we are going to cut out the rust holes and weld metal in place. Im slowly starting to get it ready for paint but that isn't my main priority at the moment. I'm sorry if my "right up" is kinda shit I've never used a forum before. 3 Quote Link to comment

Datsundude123 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to disconnect the ebrake lines from the rear drum brakes! I don't want to randomly start taking the rear brakes apart if I don't have to. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 the ebrake is the last component inside the drums. Take the wheel off, drum off. Now behind the axle hub you will see the cable coming in. It goes from front and attaches to the rear half via a ball end the same way your hood cable works. Just look and you will understand Quote Link to comment

distributorguy Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 If you just cut the cable/housing outside the brake backing plate so you don't have to disassemble anything, but then you run the risk of the cable end fouling the brakes shoes. Just do the work, learn the process. If you're not capable, pay someone who is. :devil: 1 Quote Link to comment
