Ok. Out today, rear brakes got very hot, again. 1st time in aweek. Almost like they are resetting back. Anyway decided to fix the axle leak .
Well, took off hub, and undid bolts behind brake assembly, didnt even need axle puller, a good hard yank, it cam out. First thing i noticed ,there was a torn gasket looking piece that seems to sit behind the brakes shoe assembly and goes between the brake shoe assembly and the hub that the assebly attaches to. It was damged.
I got the axle part out, bearing seemed smooth turning. O ring was intact but scuffed.
Pictures attached of parts w notes.
So. According to u tube, this type assembly requires the bearing and seal be cut off w grinder.
Is that correct, or do i need to rent a specific tool for this.
Secondly, i dnt remeber seeing that gasket that fits behind the brake shoe assembly, only one i see in book is the paper one. Is there another one and what would it be called?
Any help here forward would be appreciated imensely

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
