Hi all,
A few friends and I are working on a project 1961 Plymouth Belvedere. We just got the drums off and have installed all new shoes in each corner. We are lost when it comes to adjusting the shoes to get the drums on. It looks like instead of a typical star wheel the Plymouth has adjusting cams in the back of the drum. However, when we tried to break them loose they were seized on and rounded off. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or that will help break the adjusting cams loose. I also read that you could buy a special tool for this job but I have yet to find any. Any response is appreciated. Thank you.
P.S. We have the 1961 Plymouth Service Manual Supplement to use, but not the 1960 service manual. If anyone knows a good place to find that/buy that online please let us know.
