Part 33 U.S. Army 1952 Dodge 3/4T 4x4 M37 Brakes and brakes.

Well that's the brakes. Well not all have one more left to go. My new brake shoes showed up so fixed up the rear hones the wheel cylinder cleaned the drum and got everything back together then dropped the rear and went to the front drivers side started and finished working on that one because it had not been tampered with. So cleaned it up greased the adjuster bolts cleaned the drum and cleaned the shoes and put it all back together.

Man Larry ,you and Ron have done a awesome job on the brakes and all the other work on the Dodge! Thanks for the video to, Slim.

[@LarryDeSilva64]

We just keep plugging away. Ron took a video of me honing out the cylinder on the back brake. I was trying to think of how I could add it but he sent it to me on Facebook Messenger. Next put the drive axel in and its off to the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fast the old Buggy will go.

Good Work by you and Ron. This is better than watching American Restoration re-runs. Keep it up Larry and Ron

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Well we kep trying to see how when can keep it from being boring. Ron took a video of me honing out the cylinder but he sent that to me on Facebook Messenger so didn't know how to add i to the video. Thanks for watching

John

Thanks John. I was thinking I might try it out on the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fat this buggy eill go.

Nice job, can't wait to see you take her out for a spin!

[@LarryDeSilva64]

yes well I have to put the drive shaft back in for that but it will happen.

[@AndysDogHouse]

Hey Lucky. Nice work. I am surprised that you generated enough heat with a propane torch to remove the hubs. Thanks for sharing.👍👍🍁

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Yes it takes a couple tries with the propane torch the blue flame has to be directly on the flat of the screw but it worked on both front hubs. Started bleeding the brakes last night and got air out of the system and the brakes actually lock up and next I have to install the front drive shaft.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Hubs are looking good Larry! Good old heat & beat; works every time.

[@LarryDeSilva64]

yes got all the screws out without drilling on both fronts . We were bleeding the brakes tonight after we finished the other front wheel no one had touched the fronts it was pretty obvious

[@flatbrokegarage]

Those brakes are so simple

[@LarryDeSilva64]

Yes they are really. They are just bigger than a car lol
