Have you run into the dust ring binding due to wear of the backplate “channel”? I think that’s my issue now where the ring can bind in there. I have it riveted in place and not sure if I...

Re: Rear brake arm binding
It seems it's the dust ring that binds up. The lever is loose now but as I spin the arm the dust ring binds every so often when i spin it. I'm tempted to leave it but if the ring gets in the right...

torque tube to banjo bolts
Do any of the vendors make the correct bolts for the torque tube to banjo? I broke one today and need a replacement. Otherwise, any ford barners have an extra they could ship me?

Re: Hinge pins
Sometimes the pins/hinges get a bit bent, try opening the door part way and then removing them. On my passenger side, this did the trick and made them very easy to remove.

Re: Brakes Not Stopping The Car
I wonder if you do didn't have the new breaks trued to the hub when first installed. If not, you could have worn the high spots and now have less breaking against the drums. Might be as simple as...

Re: Diff assembly coming soon
Hi Tom. When I took the pinion off I used one of the vendor wrenches for near the banjo and a large adjustable wrench on the outer one. That seemed to work to remove it at least

Re: Diff assembly coming soon
Hi fred. That's what I tried but I ended up with vastly different shim thickness compared to when I used the new bearings. At least that was my experience.
