32 ford brake cross shaft rebuild
I am working on a 32 and the cross shaft bushings are wore worse than a ten dollar .....well let's say they need to be rebuilt, any suggestions how or better yet is anyone rebuilding them ? I can do it myself but I would rather send it out if possible.
Thank you for your replys |

Re: 32 ford brake cross shaft rebuild
I am in the process of rebuilding the cross shaft. The hardest parts were driving out the tapered pins, and driving the shaft out from the brake linkage arms on the ends. It involved a heat gun, liquid wrench, hammer, punch, and a 2 ton press.
Here are some old threads on the topic: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83251 https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58291 Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

Todd,
A bronze oil light that I ordered from McMaster Carr. I just punched in all the required dimensions and it gave the bushing selection. Keep V-ing and 4-banging!

That helps me quite a bit I find it interesting that there are not parts for it in the catalogs, I have four cars between 32 and 37 and they are all wore to some degree. Did you put in Zerks also? |
