    Rear drum spring kit

    Well, damn. I guess when spring comes I’ll be putting the “extra” ones in. The brake shows I removed didn’t have them and the manual didn’t clearly show them either. Meh, live and learn.

    Rear drum spring kit

    these are lever pivots for the rear drums. My question is why did spring kit come with 2? I ordered a kit for each side so now I have a total of four. The manual indicated only one per side… And also, what are these guys for?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Started a brake job today, the right side looked decent but this is the left… Advice that Iv been giving myself for years is to buy everything and more than you need when it comes to brake jobs. The brakes take such abuse that when you get in there you don’t want to be caught with your pants down.

    Rcotner, you need the pressure sensor it looks like a bell of sorts. The sensors job is to send a signal to oil pressure gauge. The oil pressure (switch) has a couple jobs which I can’t remember at the moment. It’s located behind the distributor near the firewall. Hope this helped
