These Bendix brakes have been used on Dodge's and Ford's full-floating applications since the early 1970's (I don't recall seeing them earlier). Very easy to work on once you do a few but they can get very crusty in the salt belt and that anchor pin nut in particular! Use some antiseize for next time.
Just lather on antiseize all over that and half of your stuff.Those cone springs always break. The design was used for 30 years and once you know how and what to have on hand its not bad. Pretty much 75 % of the drum brakes go in the trash except that arm, cam,bushing and bolt. Its like $53 for the bolt, bushing, spring and lock nut.
Its designed intentionally by college graduates who have never, will ever dont care to ever work on them Also it's to perturb people from saving money and tackling stuff themselves so "their dealer mechanics can charge 10 times the price for work Years ago Henry Ford hired a bunch of college graduates to design stuff A local farmer approached him about something that was pitifully designed He fired the college graduates and hired farmers [ someone told this to me several years ago ]
Thanks for the comment, I'll have to remember to add the part numbers next time. I just got it from my local auto parts store and there weren't any options for this vehicle/engine combo. To answer your question, the kit is Dorman 74143SB
Thank you for this video sir! Nobody else showed this and my 96 has no e brake arms in the drums at all!
Oh no!
@@NineCarGarage all fixed now. Was not easy to locate the parts as they aren't wear parts they claim.
This saved me so much headache, thanks for the video!
Heyyy, the system works! Glad it helped out and welcome to the wide world of Ford.

Yes yes antiseize on all. Thanks for the comment. It still surprises me this silly design lasted so long.
Do you think this would be causing my parking brake to lock.up or more cables ?
@@moparmadman1134 Maybe cables but check before you buy new.
