Oh Boy......I just came back from the barn and started to unbolt the wheel cylinder.....guess what...only "ONE" bolt was holding it in place !!!! I wash it all again....and brushed and the brake shoes are stamped FORD script. There is also an 88 stamping next to it or it's a reverse B and the right next to it is a regular B.

Seery.....I took a photo of the ridges in the braking service and will attempt to send a photo.

Mart.....the ridges are not deep like the fronts. I'm going back to the shop in morning to see if they can chuck it now that the seal and bearing is removed. That seal was all chewed up !! Hell of a time getting it out though, but in finally broke loose. Photos later if I can make it work !!

Thx....Mike
