HHMMM, I didn't measure the drums as they looked really thick still and I didn't have a spec to compare it to. I only remove .010 on the lathe and they cleaned up real nice. The rears can't fit the machine. The front levers did angle as Ted indicated they should. Not sure what you mean about the thrust bearing Kurt. It is between the axle and spindle. All is new too. "Push rod" ? Is that the one going through the King pin?
Just checked how free the wheels were today after they got pretty warm yesterday, and they were totally free. So I took them up another quarter turn. Will drive it again later and report back.
