MarkL Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Happy Easter! First off, the rear cable was missing, ordered one from bob’s, pulled the drums and can’t figure if something is missing and how to hook up.. if anyone has an exploded view of how the parking brake parts fit would be greatly appreciated, heres pics of what I have…btw, I have several shop manuals that are not helpful..and I checked out Glen’s ‘38 restoration and couldn’t gleen what I need to see even though he’s posted great pics….ps the wheel cylinder with red spot is drivers side Edited March 31 by MarkL Add pics (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demco32 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 there must be a part under the brake cylinder. this has the same function as the brake cylinder and opens the brake shoes when you pull the handbrake cable. The lower adjusting wheel is used to adjust the distance of the brake shoes relative to the brake drum. Photo 1 shows that the brake pad is coming loose and this will have to be repaired because if it comes loose the wheel will become stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
