UPDATE As I may have mentioned I only started with the drivers side and left the passenger alone with the original parts still attached to the passenger side. When I did the divers side I did try both new ebrake shoes and neither would fit. So I had both drums ebrake portion turned as well...

Just in case I will mention that I only have done the drivers side. I wanted to keep the passenger side on for reference just in case I needed it. I also tried both drums and both will not slide over. I undid the ebrake rod and that did not help any. Out of curiousity, I took the passenger...

Tom, I did try that both ways with the offsets and it didnt work either way :( but I will switch it around, its easy enough. Pat, the drums are new. I am not sure if the ebrake was turned or not. I know the brake side was as the shoes wer arc to match. I dont understand what you mean by...

Im redoing completely the rear brakes down to even new rails. I have the drivers side done, but cant get the drum on. It slides on then stops about 3/4" from the back plate. I took a couple pics of the entire backing plate and then one of the ebrake where it meets the stops that are in the 2...

Silver top I did order a new seal and plan to install the other one tonight in the ther drum. The rollers in the bearing do roll, but the cage they are in dont. The red bearing grease I used is sticky and wonder if that's preventing movement if the age should rotate that hold the rollers...

The bearing does not move front to back. Is there an easy way to move the seal back with out destroying it? It's a pretty snug seal. Was thinking of the one foot drop method but not sure if that wil or damage anything else n the process

I just installed one of the seals in the new drum. I repacked the bearing and dropped it in. I then installed the seal. I think I may have gone a little far with the seal as its about 1/8" below the snap ring. So my question is should the entire bearing rotate inside or is the seal is...

Jim I like your idea there. Is this what your talking about? http://www.amazon.com/K-Tool-International-KTI81979-Tapered-Chisel/dp/B002XMU0RQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I'm going to replace both heavy worn rear tracks on my 29 Tudor. It seems simple enough to grind off the old rivets but have two questions. I plan on buying the new track from snyders unless there are better ones out there. I know I have to red hot the new rivets but What technique to get the...

Well been doing the front brakes today and replaced most of the internals including the worn adjusting wedge. Now the problem is installing the wedge dust cover. I bought new ones from snyders and they seem to be the same size but when I go to install them they are slightly bigger than the...

My 29 Tudor actually has them. Today I was going thru the brakes and replacing most parts that are worn. When I put it all back together, I cant seem to get the shoes to center with a centering too from brattons. The front shoe closest to the front bumper wants to pull out more. There is no...

Im having a hard time finding someone that can turn my drums in southern orange county. The few places I have found say they don't. I'm am also hoping they my arch the shoes if possible. Thanks Tony

Well the ****** has been identified as a 81A-7222 , Now im trying to find out more on this model and what the advantages and disavantages are.

Jason You are correct. I have a 81A-7222 installed. However it has a 7 stamped above that part number. Does that mean anything? Was this a common trans to put in a '29? As you can see Im still learning here. I just want to know what my advantages and disadvantages would be to this. I...

Jason Thank you for that link I will go look at it and clean it up to see if I can find a model number. It does have 3 forward gears in the "H" Pattern and I do believe gears 2 and 3 are synched. If this is the 81A transmission are there any advantages or disadvantages to having it? I...
