I have finally desided to do the following:

After discussing the problem with all on FB who were so very helpful and with Snyder and Bratton's techs, I have ordered parts:

1. New shoes with oversized lining installed and arched to drums of 11.060 diameter.

2. Set of pills if needed.

3. Oversized clevis pins. 11/32

4. Set of short shoe return springs.

The right front brake seems to be OK with the .030 drum turn.

Oh Yah, I also purchased the Mitchell hub puller. I have pulled the rear hubs twice before by loosening the nut slightly and driving a couple of miles. Then I was able to use my completely inadequate gear puller to pull the hubs. Will do it right this time.

I hope this works. I'll let you know in a week or two as I finish my post season check and prep.

I really appreciate you FB guys. You have made the difference for me. I could not have enjoyed this hobby and become fairly proficient in the care and feeding of my beloved Fordor without the FB resources.
