Will the E-brake cable from the 9 inch work on Dana 60 or do I need cable from the 60? This is on a 78 F-150. Thanks

 

I think they will but not sure. I dont run ebrakes on my junk

 

what do you use in place of where the line goes into the drum?

 

Nothing

No pedal under the dash and no cable assembly under the truck anywhere. Took it all out of this 84 Im building also

 

If ur worried about crap getting in that little hole, put a bolt through it with a nut on it.

 

Brake fluid leaks outta mine. That's why I was wondering what you put there to stop the fluid.

 

Its leaking from the wheel cylinders

 

Its leaking out the hole where the grommet on the e-brake line goes into the back of the drum on ths drivers side because the grommet is pulled out.

 

Where is the brake fluid coming from? You do not have a sea of fluid and a couple brake pads swimming beneath the depths of your brake drum


The only internal part of your rear brakes that has fluid and can leak is the wheel cylinder.


Heres an assembled 9" brake setup. In this pic tje axle has the yoke pointing vertical so the wheel cylinder is on the right hand side just above the axle shaft. When the axle is under the truck the wheel cylinder will be at the top bolted to your backing plate with 2 bolts and will have a brake line running to it from the back side.

 

hell i dont know where exactly its leaking from, it looks like it leaks from the back of the drum, but I know absolutely nothing about brakes.

 

Well its either brake fluid coming from the wheel cylinder or brake line or its gear oil coming out the axle shaft seal.

No other fluids anywhere near there

 

if it is leaking just setting there it is most likely the axle seal... unless you get out there and pump the brakes on it..

 

haven't ran a 9" in a long time. trying to remember, will check into. converted a 78 bronco and 77 ford 4wd to dana axles, got tired of fixing 9"'s.
