CMP brake question

[Jacques Reed]

Real purdy!!!

Checking the F15-A parts list, the studs, cams, and springs are not unique to CMP vehicles so these stainless steel ones should fit properly. Parts do not have an asterisk in front of their number so they should be generic to all Fords of that era.

92Y 2038 Stud- adjusting cam
92Y 2041 Cam- shoe adjusting
92Y 2049 Spring- brake adjusting cam

Makes part finding a little easier when the * is not there.

Hi All


Well as I think everybody suspected the problem is in the tension spring on the adjusters. So I will be ordering some replacement springs.

The rear most or trailing adjuster once the brake shoe was pulled back could be turned by hand with almost no resistance. Once the end was ground off so the adjuster could be remove revealed the spring was broken.

While the forward or leading adjuster required 25-30 ft.lbs of torque to turn, but on close examination it was discovered was broken into 3 segments.

Take a look at the brake shoes, these are the original shoes mileage 24844.

Here is the trailing shoe

This is the unit I made up for pulling drum and hub assemblies. Some of you might recognize as the parallel lift platform I use for holding to drill press when drilling frame rails.

Will report back as I get replacement springs and reassemble.
