No pictures today

Today I turned out the drum brakes of the Chevy.
They are pretty worn.
I had to make special adapters to align the rotors of the front  drums , otherwise they would not spin in center.
Even for the rear drums I had to make an adapter.

In the end I was able to turn out the drums all 4 of them.
They were pretty oval.
To be on the safe side I looked on the Internet for tolerances.
At one side I found drums new and they gave a maximum internal diameter of 281 mm.
The rear drums are just inside that dimension and the front drums are over the top.
I think to be on the safe side they all should be replaced. That way the diameters are about the same and that will give less brake force difference left to right.

I did not make any photos of the progress. I this time tried something else. I made a video.

The video is about 10 mim long. Hope you enjoy.
