Drum Brake help

Glad I saw this thread. Rebuilding the brakes on my soon to be swapped 14B SF axle.
Forgot about the strut and strut spring. RockAuto says the bar fits both sides.

There is a small spring on the parking brake strut that does not come in any hardware kit I have ever seen or bought. O'Reilly sells one but its a bear to find it.

And a steal at $1.03! Good find.

Just be happy you don't have a 14 bolt FF with 13" drums. The first step in the process is to take out all the bolts and pull each rear axle. You can't get the drums off without taking the axle out first (that is why its called a full floating axle) . And then you get to the 13" drums, which weigh considerably more. When they did mine they also found that the standard brake kits did not seem to have all the right parts, so they had to cobble together parts from multiple sets.
