Thanks for the offer payalong. But I just ordered the $222 tools to remove the slingers. Bought a $100 book, $280 to rebuild some things. So I have to keep her now.

Thought I over paid
At $2500 I was hoping that I didnt over pay for my 69 R69S garage find a few weeks ago. Has matching #s. Is the 67 worth more than say my 69? Just asking.... I dont know.
Thanks

Thanks for the input. May be cheaper to buy the tools and do myself. Guess Im in a "holding pattern" on that part for now.

WD 40
WD 40 is kinda old school any more. Works well on some things. Try some PB Blaster it works real well for me. Use, let set and use some more. It has more fufu than WD40.

Thanks for the input.

Works on pads
Try sanding the leading edge of each shoe. Just at the end so its not touching the drum. Works great for car disk pads that squeal. And some manufactures make them that way. And back in the old days they had what was called "arcing the shoes". As written above making sure the shoes fit in ...
