Good news, bad news
Well, here's an update: the brake shop called this a.m., early for me, so my wits were not all about me. The brake maven said he had turned all the drums (yay), refurbished the master cylinder (hooray), and relined all the shoes, including parking brake (good-oh) - BUT, he was "washing his hands" of doing a RH to LH swap of studs because he couldn't figure how to get the locating cones off. He said he had spent a half-hour turning one and it still hadn't come all the way off, and he didn't want to spend (or charge me) that sort of time.
I said OK, I'd pick everything up, and think of something else.
In the meantime, I checked the manuals, and the cones are not handed, as are the studs and nuts, so I'm guessing they must just press on with the studs, and thus could come off with a puller of some kind or when the studs are pressed out?
Anyone have experience with this?
