Thanks Guys! Tap Tap Tap doesn't work. I guess I gotta do the bang bang bang! I'm concerned I'll damage the backing plate.

I have the rivets out of the rear roller track but the service brake tube that holds the bushings for the shafts must be pressed into the backing plate. Any ideas on how to get this tube out of the backing plate?

Thanks For all the helpful responses. You guys are a great source of information on the Model A

I plan to buy new cast brake drums. Is there any reason why I can't install my current hubs on the new drums? The hubs are fine but the drums are a little thin. Will the normal studs work?

Does anyone sell or rebuild the steering arms for a Model A. I know you can buy the balls and drill out the arms and weld the balls in. Is there someone out there that reproduces them or that provides the rebuilding service.

Thanks Mitch Lots of ideas in that post,

Where do I get the tack strip material that fits in to the metal holder that mounts in each upper rear corner of a Model A Tudor. It's about 1/" thick 7/8" wide and 17" long. Is there a substitute material that works?

Is there a procedure for checking the float position and adjusting if necessary?
