Need Help on Brake Rebuild Project
Have a '76 3/4 ton with 14 bolt diff - FF axle - pretty much as it came from the factory. I've never had one of these floating axles apart and wondering if there is an exploded view illustration or some kind of instructions somewhere on how to approach a full blown rebuild of the brakes and bearings? Basically I want to replace everything that can be replaced with new parts so I don't need to touch it again for a long time. How about recommendations on who makes the best replacement drums that are fully balanced? What about the braided stainless brake lines - are they a good upgrade? I want to do it right as the cost of parts is secondary to having a first class finished product for my classic! Thanks in advance!!!

Re: Need Help on Brake Rebuild Project
Do a google search for "14 bolt bible".
Everything you need to know. Be warned though, good parts to freshen up a 14 bolt are expensive. I just did mine. New bearings and seals for the hubs were 90 bucks from Rockauto. 200 if I had bought them locally.
