Rear Axle and Brake Recon
The new wheel cylinders were sourced from Kanter, you can see just how bad the old cylinders are in the following photos.
Note the yellowish gunk coming out of the brake wheel cylinder. This used to be brake fluid!
Thrown in is a pic of the diff, with new seals fitted and a couple of coats of POR15 added.
Showing the refurbished rear brake components ready to be fitted, and after completion. The backing plates (and drums - not shown here)were painted with heat resistant paint.
Here is a pic showing the offset of the brake anchor pin. Offset allows proper positioning of the brake shoes when a full brake adjustment is carried out, as outlined in section IV of the Packard Service Manual, under Major Brake Adjustment..
There was only minimal wear on the linings, so they just got a clean-up and a dose of heat-proof paint.
Back together . . .
