1941 American LaFrance Brakes Part I

Thes is an instructional video on removing the rear brake drums, axle and bearings. A future video will follow showing assembly of the new rebuilt parts and adjusting the drum and brake shoes. Stay tuned and keep that old iron running!

Love it I did my brakes a few years ago . I wish I had seen this before. Those pivot bolts , very helpful. You should write a book for use on the system and fixing AMERICAN LaFrance trucks. I have so many questions.

Hey man glad I could help. I will show a second video on adjusting them properly and lubrication on the moving parts.
