BlackMess Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 We just put 17' wheels on my dads 69 chevelle wheels fit fine and no rubbing but after we took it for a ride the rear drums were smoking like crazy and the braking were sticking. I cleaned and painted the drums while the wheels were off but I dont know if that would make them act like that! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 What kind of paint did you use? Hightemp/ brake paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 probably an unrelated problem pull the drums back off and look for seized or broken hardware/ wheel cylinders. if the wheel cyliders appaer to be frozen open the bleeder screw and see if they push back in. if it pushes back in the brake hose is bad if it still won't push in the wheel cylinder is toast. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Did you pull the drums off to clean/paint? (I hope you would) I'm with Dave; look for screwed up hardware. Easy enough to break old drum brake hw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
