Yukon Cornelius Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Latest from the barn find. Had him driving it around a little and heard heavy knock/clunk from rear axle intermittently. Disassembled rear brakes to find all shoe retainer springs broken and beating the crap out of the wheel cylinders. Ordered some brake hardware kits from carid.

el_freddo Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Replace the slave cylinders while you’re there. They tend to leak when they’re this old. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartwheels Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Ha! Just had this exact thing happen to me on my 88 GL. Fixed it up with new hardware, drums, and shoes. Stops a lot better now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
