- I removed the front wheel assemblies and cleaned up the drum
surface.

- I used my AMMCO 1750 brake gauge to check the setup on the
original brake pads.
- The drum size is 11 inches and the drum check as 40
thousands oversized. This is actual a good indicator that
the drums are in pretty good shape.

- The plan here is a quality repair to restore good brakes and
not a full refurbishment.
- I cleaned up the old shoes and support area and installed a
new brake cylinder and return spring.
- I readjusted the shoes utilizing the AMMCO brake tool.

- The old cylinder hose union connectors were cross threaded
with the remainder of some type of hose connector.
- I cleaned up the old cylinder union joint with a 11/16-16
TPI Bottom Tap to ensure a good thread right down to the brass
flat.
- Wrapped all connections with Teflon Tape to ensure no leaks.
