So I finally took the time to find out what's going on with my brakes. Turns out my hunch was right--leaky wheel cylinder. Little did I know that I would have to pull the axle shaft and remove the hub/drum as an assembly. Truck is a 1985 Chevrolet C30 Silverado Big Dooley with what I think is a Dana 70 rear axle.



Guess I'll replace the bearings while I'm in there. It's not like I really want to wrestle with this thing again anytime soon. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/v1.gif

It's a 350 gas engine. Pretty slow to get only 10 mpg, but hey, it's a truck! Whether I'm hauling or towing, it gets the job done.

This is a picture of her sexy butt. I'll try to remember to snap a couple pics of the big ass brake drum and hub tomorrow.

A dana 70? Holy christ! I wonder if I can fit those in the Wrangler? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

Turns out it IS a Dana 70, a Dana 70HD no less!

Here's a pic of the hub and drum after I got it put back together. That thing must weigh 80 lbs!
