Popular Post eddeere Posted August 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2015 Installed new linings on the rear shoes today and got the shoes mounted. Every thing went good did not cut myself, smash a finger, or hit my head on something under the truck. I think it is time for a beer. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41368-new-brake-linings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well I did have more than one beer. It will be at least a year before ready to drive unless I drive it without the cab.I'm confused, WHY did you take the cab off to change the brake shoes? LOL I've only had to remove the steering wheel to change mine. But that's because the nut was loose that was holding it. LOL Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

eddeere Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I know something is wrong but have not found it yet. I got the linings in a package deal about $ 80.00 for all.

Keith S Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have a '59 B46 needing new linings. Where did you buy your linings? Did the linings come pre-drilled? My shoes have twelve bolts. My truck also has two sets of left shoes. The right side has a set of left shoes mounted up-side-down. Are the shoes symmetrical so that this does not matter? Also, I have two different spiders. The left side is an aluminum job that's a little different. It does not have the rear bolt that prevents the shoe-pins from walking out. Has anyone replaced a spider with a new one?

eddeere Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Keith I got mine from Kevin All 607 434 1063 in New York. When I was up there he had a stack of them . The holes were drilled and counter sunk. Not sure on the price as I bought a pickup load of stuff. If you call Kevin tell I gave you his #. Bob above has some also.

Maddog13407 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I replaced my spider with modern ones off an 80's U model. direct bolt on and you get rid of the pain in the ass felts and pins and can use a modern buy it anywhere brake shoe. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41368-new-brake-linings/#findComment-355221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
