Re: [DMCForum] ATTN: Andrei (Brake Problem)

[Andrei Cular <andreic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Its a 1977 GMC Sierra 35 with Reading work bed.

What Walt was referring to with pulling the axles, is how to remove the 
drums.  I have never worked on a Dana 60 rear end with drum brakes, and 
have not yet pulled the wheels off the truck so I have no idea how 
involved it will be.  But I really don't think Dana would make you pull 
the axle apart to get to the brakes on a work truck axle. 

The lines are really easy to change on this truck cause it only has a 
350 which leaves the engine compartment wide open.  And with the high 
suspension I don't even need to jack it up to get under it on my creeper.

I might pull the bed anyway cause we really need a stake side flat bed 
more than tool boxes.  And one of the volunteers has a flatbed that 
would fit and is very interested in the work bed.
