I am trying to replace the front wheel cylinders on my 63 SDV and can't figure out how to get a wrench on the bolts holding them on. Does the backing plate have to come off and if so, how? Thank you…Continue

"Hi Bill,
EXCELLENT idea with grinding down the wrench - sometimes that is the only way. The knuckles on our cars are terribly cumbersome. I did replace some of the hardware and Caddy Daddy helped. I bet Jason…"
"Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. There was no way to get any kind of wrench on either of the bolts because of the steering knuckle. What I had to do was grind a 1/2" box wrench down to 1/8" thick and then was able to…"
"Hi Bill,
I restored my entire brake system on my 64 Coupe and the backing plate should not have to come off to remove the wheel cylinders. The knuckle on the front wheel does get in the way and makes it harder to remove…"

Thank you for the response. How many awards do you have for Dino? That car is a MASTERPIECE."

Bill, The ashtray link pulled up a post by Chapter Member Kurt Edmiston with a link to his video. The link worked for me. Here is a direct link: Click Here. The other links were posted by members that are not longer in the Chapter. When they were removed the posts were removed. I will make a note that we need to add them back.

As far as having to pour fuel down the carb to get it started. Have you checked the fuel filter, maybe replace it. If that is good the next thing to check to see if the fuel pump is working. If all of is good the next thing is look into the carburetor.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
