1970 Ford Fairlane Front Brakes

Prev Next
The old drum is held to the spindle by four bolts. Over the last 37 years, the nuts are almost welded themselves to the bolts, and it takes quite a bit of effort to free them. After letting them soak in Break-Free, we hit them with an impact gun. Some of the squared-off bolt-ends designed not to spin, spun. And so it became a two-person operation, as one worked the gun and the other kept the bolt from spinning with a pair of pliers. Don't worry about messing up the bolts, since SSBC supplies all new Grade 8 (or better) hardware.
