Saturday was what I would call successful in a one handed way.

I got the flex hoses attached to the main steel line and clipped to their brackets.

From there I formed the steel lines from the...

Naturally the pistons are also stamped to allow select fitting of pistons/bores.

Thanks

Appreciate the kind words Johnny but I'm not the reporting type.

The mechanic is a long time acquaintance who misjudged things.

Once the car is back on the road I'm going to have coffee with...

Up date!!

My local reliable parts guy searched for hoses but came up empty.

I checked a couple of online sources and all said no stock available.

I got my guy to order the cylinders anyway...

I appreciate the thought and its a good method.

The line at the cyl was very crusty but the line into the flex hose came out.

Parts are cheap so I decided to replace the flexhose, steel line...

Thanks Miles!!!

I spent the afternoon and evening under the LeBaron and am exhausted.

Dirty and grimy but very happy, I got the wheel cyls, lines and flexhoses out.

Wheel cyls looked pretty good but I decided...

Appreciate your kind words Todd!!

I'm really just preparing for this afternoons LeBaron brake attack.

I have a 1986 Chevy propane van with no adjuster holes and it got me thinking.

I have a...

Another question:

Are there any rear drum brake adjustment knockouts on these cars??

Thanks
Randy

Do the Masi cranks have a rolled radius like the regular Chrysler cranks??

Thanks
Randy

Agreed!!!!

There are more dud shops/mechanics than there are dud cars.

No disrespect to the good mechanics out there.

I just got an expensive dud!

Thanks
Randy

And this is the major piss off Johnny!!

It's very hard around here to get someone to look at /work on drum brakes.

The pedal was soft so I took it to a skilled mechanic I know an hour away.
...

Time is on my side Miles and its been soaking a few days.

Probably going to check the wheel cyls and try disassembling tomorrow.

Thanks
Randy

Wow Todd, excellent!!!

That's the info I need right there.

I'm guessing the original ring wears some increasing the clearance some??

Or not.

Thanks
Randy

Hi Todd, agreed, but like the criminal said to Clint Eastwood, "I just have to know"..

I remember some that wouldn't allow the pistons to fall out.

Thanks
Randy

I agree but am trying to find out if the pistons remove with the wheel cyls in place.

Thanks
Randy

Right on Jeff.

I'm just sharing my experiences, others will disagree!!

Thanks
Randy

Todd, I should have asked you first!!

Whats the side clearance of the ring to turbine shaft groove?

I asked on another forum and a guy answered about .0015"

He said he used to work in a...

I've swapped them many times with no issues.

Even a 1988 2.2 T-I SMEC runs a 1989 2.5 T-I Engine fine for me.

I use +20 injectors with a T-II SMEC on a 2.5 T-I Engine

I always run manual...

Anyone have a good Garrett T-I or T-II turbine shaft?

I have a couple that seem to have excessive piston ring seal clearance.

I've been told they be rebuilt or exchanged??

Anyone know who or...

I have a leaky rear drum brake wheel cyl on a K car style LeBaron

Is it possible to install new seals in the wheel cylinder without removing it??

I'm afraid the steel line will twist off if I...

I probably have an extra if you can't find one closer.

Thanks
Randy

I have a pair of OEM inner CV's only from a 1987 Shelby Z if anyone needs them.

I had the shafts shortened but it didn't work out and I saved the inners.

Thanks
Randy

It's not recommended to use a gasket on the int shaft seal retainer.

Anaerobic sealer. Mopar prefered.

Thanks
