Hi everyone. I’m cleaning up a 14 bolt rear to swap into my k5.

Removed perch’s, old lines. Going to replace e brakes, adjusters wheel cylinders and hardware.

The shoes look good to me

I want to clean out the inside of the drum and backing plate. Dont want to go nuts just knock out the rust and maybe paint a little.

Should I use caliper paint or can I get away with just rustolium?

What are the pros/cons of using braided line vs hard line?
