Hey Guys,
Sorry if this post shouldn't go here, please move.
So I finally did the brakes in the rear. Everything changed out, cylinders, drums, springs, shoes.
Had a hell of a time putting one side back on, tried for hours, I figured it was we just didn't know what we were doing. Turns out the Wagner shoes we got, were defective in size, they were correct part number.
Anyhow got a pep boys brand on there & everything bolted up easily.
I was pretty liberal with the brake cleaner & probably doused the wheel hub & seal /bearings pretty good.
I have a sort of rubbing sound coming from the rear that didn't have before doing the brakes. Think this might be a bearing(s) gone bad as result of getting sprayed.
I had the truck lifted from the Differential & spun the wheels, but very difficult to replicate the sound.
As I was told, there should be some initial break in rubbing from shoes possibly?
Haven't dealt with drums in ages.
Hopefully everything is correct & buttoned up right. Don't know if you guys can tell from photos or not.
Probably a good idea to just replace these bearings any how I'm thinking.
Having difficulty figuring out correct parts.
The usual shops say something about Ring Gear size 7.5 or 8.8.
Pep boys has one that shows this as a range as in photo. Should this be good?
Also I will need wheel seals as well?
Is this a relatively diy job for novice? Tools needed please? Tub of bearing grease right?
