Re: Brake drums
Bob,
As Brent mentioned there are a number of issues that can cause turning the rears to be if issue. Axle holes burred, if you use the hub surface that it too is ok. Few exhist but an expander adapter that fits inside the bearing surface as long as it’s in good shape. As Brent said if you use a cone you must ensure that it fits properly abs is centered. Mentioned above was leaving the seal in. Under no circumstances should that be. Even if you got a small cone to the inside of the hub it will be burred at the hub and you cannot ensure that no shavings don’t get in your grease and bearings.
This is a job left to someone who understands model A drums and brakes (all flathead Ford’s for that matter ) .
Just my 2 cents worth and trying to help make sure you don’t have issues. Hopefully somewhere nearby there’s someone to help.
