- The bleed screw for the rear drum cylinder was missing, it's easier to replace the whole thing.

What always helped me with reassembly was, as I removed a part, I did a layout to one side; laying the parts in place as they came off the drum. That helped me a lot!
I share this hoping it helps others.
Yeah, being organized can go a long way to doing a repair right. :)
Double whammy today! I got the wheel cylinder swapped out. This was pretty easy. I got the drum toolkit and it helped a ton. Easy to justify the $25 there. I was lucky and only needed to replace the cylinder. The springs all looked good and were replaced in the last 5-10 years. I only needed to take off the top two springs to get to the cylinder. Also a good tip to take photos from many angles. Had to reference them when the cable fell off unexpectedly.
I also got the steering wheel replaced. The old one was the original style. The center hub cracked and messed up the horn assembly. I was able to reuse the assembly by twisting the deformed contractor. I replaced it with a black on black nine bolt one. The horn works now and the steering is a bit more responsive. The wheel is 1" smaller in diameter which gives me a smidge but more leg room.
It's days like this that make it feel worth it when you hit those days where nothing seems to go as planned. :)
That extra leg room is undervalued, especially for someone like me with thicker legs. :)
Fantastic!!! I'm glad you posted this since my wheel cylinder is sitting on my work bench ready to be installed.
Glad I could help!
I really appreciate your videos. Keep them coming!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks again Andy!! One tip might be to put a rubber cap (like a vacuum line cap) over the end of the brake line to keep it from leaking. :-)
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks Andy
Any time!
Great video!
Thanks!
Nice work! I know you replaced the other cylinder after all but I would recommend anytime you replace a wheel cylinder or brake caliper to replace in pairs because of you only replace one the old one could blow the seals out and you loose the braking power in that wheel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tip!
Especially for the costs! 40 bucks for a much safer car is a no brainer
Could be a good video candidate for rear disc conversion later :)
That's would be awesome, now I just need to find the funds for the swap..... :)
@@AndyKruseChannel I know the feeling...!
The brake hose that was originally on the car is the correct one for dual exhaust which you have. However the hard lines are bent different and where the hardline from the front and the hose connect is in a different location. Just look up 65/66 dual exhaust setup online. The old hose looked funny because the person who installed it didn’t change the hardline. Just make sure your hose is far enough away from the exhaust that it doesn’t melt and cause brake issues. Second your self adjusters wont work unless you fixed them after this video.
Thanks for the tip.
Just wind out the brake adjuster so the pads open and you can take it out without removing the springs etc.
Agree to disagree. :)
I'm having a hard time finding a spring kit. Just wandering if you had a part number.
Most auto parts stores will have the kits. I bought my kit from Napa, part number - UP 2386. That will do both rear drum brakes. :)
@AndyKruseChannel thank you I will give them a call
First thing I did when I got my 66! Will you keep the drums on the rear end and put discs on the front?
There are already discs on the front, but I would eventually like to upgrade the rear to discs.
@@AndyKruseChannel awesome! What else do you have planned? Really digging this build you're doing, the fastback is awesome
@@jordanschultz2232 Can't give away all the goods yet. :)
Do you still have the single master cylinder?
Nope, I've got the dual bowl in this car. :)
I am sure several folks have asked, but I'll ask too....How hard is it to convert the rear to disc brakes?
Not sure, haven’t tried it yet. Although I’d like to do that in the Fastback.
@@AndyKruseChannel new video! I can't wait to see it. I started watching your videos just over a week ago, and I have almost seen them all.
You've also increased subscribers by over 1,000 since I've started watching! Word is getting out about your quality videos.
Disassemble that "new" cylinder & check for rust.
This is probably good advice.
Change title for proper term " wheel cylinder" you'll end up with more views to grow channel.
Thanks for the tip!
