I don't like doing drum brakes...really don't. In the middle of a complete brake rebuild on the '57 Thunderbird. Fronts done, moving to the rear I discover the shoes are 1 3/4" wide compared to the kit replacements 2 1/2" wide! Ordered the "complete brake rebuild kit" from Ecklers (Macs) thinking it would cover everything. Now my attempts to call are resulting in endless time on hold or waiting for the "tech guy" to call me back. I guess I shouldn't take it for granted that vendors are detail oriented.
