Okay, time to show my newbieness. How do I know if it is 10 1/2 or 10 3/4?What rear drum brake kits do I need to buy for rear drum brakes? I have the drum and backing plates. Now what? I know I need the wheel cylinders, pads, and spring kit (hardware kit I believe). Is there some way to buy it all at once?!? Thanks.

you can get all that at Autozone. Dont waste $$$ thru a catalog for that stuff.



Dont try to rebuild your wheel cylinders. Its a PITA, and the cost of new cylinders is just a few dollars more.

Take your rear drum off and measure from one side to the other on the inside. This will be the size you will need to tell the supplier.
