Great pix and discussion. I whacked on my 2 broken studs. Even tried the socket back-up trick. Those dudes are stuck! Going the drill press route. Thanks for the info confirming my next steps. GM learning Mopar :-) Badbrad

Just fyi, there are a couple of places the T ends will fit on the frame. I put mine into the wrong slots and fought the sucker for a time. Looked a little more carefully and found the right place to hook them in. I'm sure you have checked but it burned me. It fit easily when I put them in...

Sorry, I submitted this twice. Any way to delete one?

Well, I rebuilt everything on my brake system. Even the power booster. I pulled the entire brake pedal assembly and bracket to get to the bolts on the booster and I can't seem to get it back together correctly. I thought the new booster was bad but now I thing I have screwed up putting the...

This sounds a lot like my problem. The link in the one reply is dead. Sounds like that picture would help. How did you get the two rods adjusted? No doubt part of my problem. See BadBrad post today on Brake Pedal linkage, 69 Roadrunner Drum brakes.

Thanks for the responses! I hooked up the vacuum pump and now have the wheel cylinders as full as I can get them. I put on a second M/C after bench bleeding. Before bolting it down, I had the kid push on the brake pedal and the M/C was pushed out by a half inch or so. The rod on the end of...

BTW, I am bleeding using the old pump and hold, open the bleed valve, close it, pump some more. One post said I could ruin the M/C pumping all the way to the floor. Is that what I am doing wrong. Have I destroyed two M/C pumping 15 strokes and hold, bleed, close, pump again. The post was...

I have a 69 RR, 383, 11" drums, power booster, automatic, bone stock. I picked it up a few weeks ago and it had been sitting for 3-4 years. OK, the brakes shot. Drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, all rubber hoses, new master cylinder, had the power booster rebuilt (fun getting that out and in)...
