Brakes
I need help on how to determine if front brake actuating assembly and service brake cross shaft is serviceable. Is there any way to check them while there on the car. Or do I have to disassemble the actuating assembly and cross shaft to visually check bushings and shaft surface. I've done hydraulic brakes for years this is my first attempt at mechanical brakes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jerry

Re: Brakes
In my experience, the cross shaft on the front brakes is frequently the one component that is usually serviceable. That is to say that it must be inspected for bushing wear and if not sloppy on the ends, might be OK. Small parts on the backing plate are all subject to lots of wear. Some things can be measured and compared to specs, other parts need to be compared to a new part for evaluation. The service brake cross shaft at the center of the frame is usually a worn out critter and should be addressed. Read lots of posts and use the search function to get evaluation experience. It's a long process.
