| How do I get the brake shoes out of the housing after pulling the pin and backing off the stop screw? Do I have to remove all the snap rings and pins on the top part of the shoes? |

To remove brake shoes, remove brake compartment covers. Disconnect and remove front and rear shoe return springs (1 & 8). From lower side of transmission housing, remove brake shoe anchor pin lock, and remove anchor pin (15). In the event that the brake anchor pin cannot be removed by prying, it may be necessary to drill and tap the anchor pin so that a suitable puller of the stud and sleeve type may be used. Remove adjusting nut from clevis (6). Front shoe should be removed first, through compartment cover opening. Remove rear shoe in like manner. Reinstall the front shoe, as an assembly made up of the brake shoe, toggle levers, toggle pin and adjusting clevis and pin. The large brake shoe return spring (1) is for the rear shoe and the smaller spring (8) is used for the front shoe. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| Thank you, that's the info I needed. I have the pivot pin out and the springs off and the stop backed off. It still didn't want to come but now I will work harder at it. The brake rod broke off inside the housing so there is a small piece of it still hooked up it may be hanging up. Thanks again...Dave |

The brake housings are well known for harboring mice thru bad weather and non-use. It may be jammed up with all kinds of nesting material. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Make sure all of the parts on the pivot parts are moving freely. If you don't have a repair manuel for your wd45 you need to set your brake rods at a set length and adjust the brakes one wheel at a time. Use anti-seize on those brake pins when you put the back in. I did my brakes a few months ago, if you need information pm me and I will call you back.  At least your pins didn't have to come out this way. LOL like mine did.  ------------- Danny Raddatz |

| Those pivot pins can turn a brake job on one of these into a HUGE job!! One thing about it when done and the brakes work as they should it is very satisfying. |

Bob, I would pull the bottom pin out and see if I could wiggle the shoes out, then see if I could soak that part with PB blaster and drill and retap if it would not come out any other way. Danny ------------- Danny Raddatz |
