I didn't have a micrometer to check for wear on the pins and roller wheels. I just fit the pins into the holes and check for wobble. If there's no wobble, that means they're good to go.
1.250 for the diameter of the rollers, .4375 for the diameter of the pin shaft. If you know the dimension for the roller pin head, it is important as the head of the pin rides the roller track and centers the shoes.
Some good info there. Just too bad you didn't also cover rewelding the tracks which the roller pins ride on. One other thing you could mention is the change Ford made in the emergency brake carrier plates. The later style had three tabs, as I recall, for the bands to ride on. Those are the carrier plates to look for.
I'm rebuilding the rear brakes on my 29 Town Sedan. Following Adam's video I find that the service brake shoes don't align parallel to the axle when assembled. They lean toward the backing plate. So when I install the brake drum it rubs on the shoes. Yes, the adjuster is backed out and the adjusting shafts are greased and move freely as well as the wheels and cam on the other end. Both left and right sides have this issue. How can I remedy this issue? Thanks, Bob from Reno.
Recessing those rivets is always a good idea but maybe it wasn't done here assuming that your wheels won't be turning when the emergency brake is applied.
The service brake shoe springs can be installed by hand without tools by manipulating the shoes. Install the long spring first, then the bottom short spring, then install the cam, then the top short spring.
Very well done, nice to see such a clear exposition on the whole assembly. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to make this great video, now I understand how how my 31 ford rear brakes work
Excellent video and explanation of what problems to look for. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I have a '30 A that I am doing the brakes on and this was a great video to see what to expect.
Very helpful. Exactly what I need

Thanks for doing this video - VERY helpful

Great video thanks for making it
Thank you so much! i'm about to start my av8 build
Any info on a front rebuild/teardown?

Great video
thank for you information
Why didn't you recess the brass rivet head below the surface of the e brake lining?

What tool did you use for the small springs? Homemade or bought? Thanks

I thought those things were supposed to be easy to work on. Looks pretty complicated to me.😵🤕
