Square Body Chevy 1980 K10 - Part 6 - Drum Brakes

In this instalment of our Squarebody restoration we tackle the rear drum brakes. This video I tried to do a better job of showing you the process. More importantly perhaps is the tools and still shots of how the drum brake springs look once assembled. Below I will link the tools and the parts you need if you are going to try this project. The parts are specific to this vehicle, however most drum brakes will require the same tools.
