Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
Do you know how to back off the adjuster? It's that star wheel near the bottom on the link. Put a screwdriver blade through the slot in the backplate and rotate the star wheel so it shortens the link.
Then the drum should come off. Use the right side as a pattern so you can see what should be happening. Mart. |

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
If the vehicle pulls to the left, the right side front brakes are the problem.

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
Maybe it's the camera, but that whole brake assembly looks rotated to the rear too much. The wheel cylinder should be parallel to the top of the grease shield, too.

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
If you don't have pliers grab the extended part at right angles with vice grips, two hand s right pulls left holds

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
F-1 and F-100 backing plates are clocked to the rear on the spindles to permit the brake hose to clear the top kingpin boss on the spindles.

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
I start out by putting the adjuster in properly. Sometimes it is fun learning about unfamiliar stuff.

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
Good catch rich B. It's good when the solution is simple. This is a good illustration of the power of a photograph. Without that we would all be going down the overly thick lining route.
JT: You will observe when fitted correctly the spring rests on the star wheel hence stopping it from moving unintentionally. |

Re: 49 F1 Brake issue
I'd do yourself a favor and invest a few dollars in a set of speed bleeders.
Will make your life way easier bleeding the brakes. They're 3/8-24 on the F1......... SB3824L I believe those are the ones on my 48 truck. Last edited by 1948F-1Pickup; 09-15-2021 at 03:44 PM. |
