Did I order the wrong piece?
Hey everyone! So While painting the frame I took off the rear axle and was looking to redo the brakes on the back while its all off. I ordered new drums, wheel cylinders, shoes, and hardware all through Rockauto and the drums arrived today. However, the center of the Drum is missing all the hardware that the other drum still has on it.
Any Help on what to do and if it just comes out?
The truck is a 1975 F-250 supercab, trailer special. The rear axle is supposed to be a Dana 60

One stud broke when coming out cause it was stuck to the side! Thanks guys. Ill post when the axle is all painted and done this weekend, should look EXTREMELY different. As for the break lines and fuel lines on this truck, nobody carries then pre-bent. How difficult is it to make my own?

These guys seem to be the "go to" for pre-bent lines.

You can get a kit with all the new springs, sometimes a new arms, but I always just wire-wheel/paint the old ones and reuse them (arms, not springs). wheel cylinder is as easy as it looks. Brakes should auto adjust when you drive, but you may still need to tweak them.

Alright cool, so far I got the wheel cylinders, master rebuild kit with new springs, adjuster, etc., shoes, and drum. Just waiting on my leaf spring bushings and sway bar bushings to get here and everything is ready to get reassembled and painted. For the axle, would you say the back drum plate get caliper paint on it? the the axle just get regular chassis paint? does that plate get hot at all?
