Assembly Three (09/25/2014)

A friend came over with his brake shoe spring pliers which has a hook and a point and connected both brake shoe springs in less than a minute. Then I greased the outer brake drum bearings and put the brake drums on and adjusted the shoes for a decent gap. I installed the new brake cable and put the brake handle back together. Everything works properly now. The drums rotate freely when the brake is off and will not rotate at all when the brake is applied.

Then I bought a pairs of shock absorbers from our local NAPA dealer and installed them. I took the following picture showing the shock absorbers with their traditional Monroe blue color. I am not going to paint them olive drab.
