Re: [Amc-list] 64 Classic Rear Brakes



You have me baffled.
If you pulled the left side the adjuster should have an L on it.

Not sure what brake system the 64 Typhoons got.
Wagner or Bendix? Makes a difference in what you will see.
did you compare it to the other side?

Mattsoldcars has a some brake stuff up that may help you out. IIRC.
