    Just want to give an update.

    I have everything back together now. Just need to adjust the shoes within the drums. I replaced the following
    Brake shoes
    Wheel cylinders
    Most of the hard and soft lines
    Master cylinder
    All adjuster pins
    All Springs
    Rear drums and hubs.
    I also put in new shocks. They were well worn. Also I hated that they were blue.

    I repacked all the front bearings. All surfaces looked good. The rear are apparently a pain to get out and I needed to get it rolling again since I am moving in march. So I left the rear bearings in.

    This picture looks dark, But its about as clean as the other side.

    I had to replace the rear drums and hubs because the both hubs were bent and pushing out the studs requires some special process.
    More info about that can be found on page 11 http://www.caloundracity.asn.au/Jeep...rakes101_1.pdf. The studs hold the hub and drum together.

    I also had to cut down my 19mm offset wrench to get between the lower brakeshoe adjuster and the lower king pin bolts.




    Overall I am pretty happy with the work. Next project will be replacement springs. The ones that are on it now are flat and stiff as a rock. I don't expect it to ride nice but anything would be better. I have an extra Master Cylinder and some lugs reverse threaded lugs with spines that were to short. If anyone wants them ill be willing to part with them pretty cheaply.
