Caught up with Monty and Grant today. A flying visit to fix an annoying front brake that grabs when Monty is being pushed into bed, sorry I meant shed.
We had worked on the same problem previously, so this time we addressed it with a bit more assertiveness and vigor.
The front brake shoe on the passenger side was slightly out of square with the brake drum due to either a bit of wear in the lower brake shoe pivot point, or at some stage the brake backing plate has received a bit of a whack during the last 86 years. With a tap here and a smack there, and attacking Monty with a "Podger" bar, we treated both possibilities, problem fixed!!!
What was that you said, "Never heard of a Podger Bar, neither had I until I met Monty an Grant..
We also removed the brake adjuster, stripped and lubed, jut to ensure that was not part of the problem.
There you go Monty................ http://montythe1928chevrolet.blogspot.com.au/
