derekg Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Pulled my drums to rebuild the front wheel cylinders since they were frozen. One shoe became delaminated, but all the others are just fine. I really don't want to buy new brakes for a single shoe. Anybody have a spare used one they would sell or donate? Thanks, Derek Quote Link to comment

Thanks, Derek Assuming you have a PL411 ? Correct your problem and replace both front wheel brake shoe assemblies! 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 It is also pretty easy to go disc brakes. :) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 If one came apart the other will be close to the same. These sound like they have been sitting and are 40 years old. Do yourself a favor and replace all of them. This is your brake system, the single most important safety device on any car. We want you around for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment
derekg Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Yep, you guys are right. Was just trying to get it movable, not really drivable. Will bite the bullet and go new. Thx. 1 Quote Link to comment
