Worked great on some of the parts but some just disintegrated.
Kind of amazing stuff. Even though this stuff is fantastic. I'm replacing most of the Rear drum parts.
Not the drum. It looks good but the backing plate is so rusty. I have to sand smooth the pads where the shoes rest. There are very pitted. Then I'm going to use Corrosealon the front and back of the plate. The Cylinder didn't want to come off and one of the hard lines had a leak so I'm replacing the rear lines and cylinders. I'm thinking of replacing the parking break cables from the equalizing arm to the brakes because they seem to be rusted in the tubes. Probably safer to replace. I found some interesting stuff on the belly pan before I was able to pull the MC.
