    Brake Drum Removal on M809 series 5 ton????

    thanks The brakes are backed off. I thought about putting the weight of the truck on the brake drum but didn't know if that was a good idea. Since I see that supermechanic used this technique with success I'll give it a shot. I hope the other brake shoes work as they should for adjustment so...

    Got the radiator out and have all of the belts off with the exception of the water pump belt. I don't see any adjustment to loosen this belt up? I walked the old belt off by using a screwdriver and wrenching the engine over. The new belt is tighter and will not install this way. Do I have to...
