Hi everybody
Started working on my 62 cruiser and figured i would start with the brakes, put it in the air and found the rear brake drums lose on the axles and one nut 1/2 way off. Took the drums off and found that the passenger side nut is cracked.
nothing else damaged, keys and key ways are good but the passenger side axle was hit with a hammer or something. i hand filed the threads and got the good nut to go on the damaged axle with little effort.
I am in need of a axle nut,
Would anyone here have one or be able to tell me where i can find one?
As far as installing the drums the axle and drum should be clean and dry and the nut torqued to 175 ft pounds. Would that be correct?
Oh and it has new rear brakes and wheel cylinders and i got the axle cleaned up so the day isn't a total loss. lol
thank you for any information.
