All,
1. Does anyone have a good way to remove the washer like retainer on the pivot
pin at the 6 o'clock position on the rear brakes? If I pry it off, it will no
doubt be trashed. Is it easily replaceable? I haven't seen them in Chevy Duty,
etc.
2. Also what about the small 3/4" x 1" springs holding the shoe mount together?
How do they come off?
Thanks,
Gary
