Brakejob

["Kenneth Settles" <oliverdad@xxxx>]

Ok, the 75 Gremlin is back out of the garage, waiting for a distributor. 
Ordered a rebuilt from a local parts store. The one they sent for us was the 
core from someone else that was still dirty. Now we have to wait till 
tuesday (Pepboys). Wouldnt want to mention there name and embarrass them 
(Pepboys). I know they are on the west coast.
Anyway, the breakjob went ok, but my son tried taking off the hub nut. Come 
to think of it, It's the first hub nut on the rear axle I have seen except 
on front wheel drive cars. Actually, To what do you torque it back down. I 
had to leave it loose to get the cotter pin in. Anyway, only did the rear 
brakes.
The son put his shackles, wheels and tires off his 68 mustang he's selling. 
So the Gremmie has a nice forward rake to it. Now we just need to get it 
tuned up and smogged and we'll be in business. Still have to replace the 
hinge bushings on the drivers door and some decent seats in it and I will 
probable steal it away from him (or least get to drive it occasionally).
got to go, happy gremlin motoring to all.
Ken
