Yeah keep posting!
It’s fun doing those kind of rebuilds but surely it takes more time. Cheaper tho… that’s a plus. Don’t hate yourself if one leaks and you gotta sort that out. Buy a decent hone don’t just dingle ball them. Replace the stones if they wear it’ll gone all crooked.
This exactly where I’m at with the ***p.

I got the funky rear wheel cylinders apart and they cleaned up surprisingly well. Gummed up with old brake fluid but nice and smooth inside and looks like they were rebuilt at some point as the rubber parts are in great shape. Even had some legible part numbers on them. Going to reassemble these and run them.
The front cylinders I have Toyota rebuild kits for. They're seized pretty good and I haven't figured out a way to get them apart yet. I was going to try grease zerks, but they're M11x1.25 openings for the bleeder and banjo bolt. They're also not double ended so can't drive them out. I tried air but no dice. Soaking in penetrating oil for now.
I got rebuild kits for the clutch master/slave but the slave is seized on too. Heat, oil, beat, repeat routine started.
IH8RUST!

This truck has the dreaded 9mm brake fittings but some have been switched to sae 3/8. I would prefer everything to be 10mm which is what the newer MC is. Anyone have a source for banjo fittings that accept 10mm line fittings? I'm already going to be bending a bunch of new lines, so might as well upgrade if I can find the parts.
Here's the oem 9mm fittings next to an sae 3/8.

I don't recall exactly what year and I can't seem to find the purchase history for the part number. I think it was for a 1972 Crown.

After thinking about those seized wheel cylinders awhile, I realized I was on the right track with the grease zerk plan, but trying to implement it wrong. I was thinking I could install the zerk direct into the cylinder where the banjo bolt goes, but it's that odd M11 size.
Instead I used an sae banjo and put an sae zerk in it. Worked great!
Cleaned up pretty well. Didn't require as much grease as I had feared.
I have new oem pistons, cups, springs and boots for these.
Edit: front are marked ASCO, rear are ALCO. I've seen some others online marked Aisin. All with the teq logo. Wonder what the story is?
I'm off to SC later this week so hopefully the new shoes arrive while I'm gone and I can get it reassembled when I return.

Heck yeah Steve! I was thinking it would be fun to trailer it out for the rally or something, then cruise around and hit some brew pubs. Hopefully it'll be a driver by this summer. 🍺
Some pre-Aisin hubs are stamped with Asco.

Assembled the front cylinders, cleaned up all the hardware and got them bolted on. Still waiting on brake shoes.
I got the adjusters apart. I found one OEM NOS unit on ebay Asia. waiting for it to arrive. Between the new one and the 2 crusty ones, I can make a functioning pair.
Only thing I'm still looking for (for the brakes) are the 10mm banjo fittings. I might have a couple more 9mm pieces in my 40 stash if I can't find the 10mm that are compatible with the M11 banjo bolts.

I do if i'm rebuilding them. I'm actually waiting on the rear set to dry. I wire wheeled the rust and old paint off. The fronts are actually aluminum and in great shape, Just needed to be cleaned up. Guessing they were replaced at some point since they're not old iron like the rears.

I just noticed that based on this oil change sticker, the Stout was only driven about 500 miles in the 10 years prior to being parked in the garage. 500 miles since 2004! No wonder it's so crusty.
