Don't forget the the rear drum removal trick for those of us with out rear disc brakes. 1. Block front wheels 2. Jack up both sides of rear axle and secure with jack stands 3. Remove tire or tires 4. thread two lug nuts at least half way on. (if removing both drums make sure you have two lugs on each side. 5. start tuck, put in gear, hit the brakes, put in reverse, hit brakes, put in N or Park, and shut down the truck. Both drums should be loose.

I know that this question comes from my lack of tech. knowledge but what is the importance of putting them back in the same spot. Are they not all made the same size, lenghts. Valves i could see, tappets too. Quote:

I agree with Justin. I believe the reason to not mix up the push rods and tappets is because of wear. When all the parts are new, they can go anywhere. As mileage accumulates the push rod ends and tappets will wear in together to form a unique low friction fit. If you were to swap a push rod it will no longer have the same fit and will have to wear in again. I am guessing this will cause more wear and the need to readjust the valve clearance. So instead of adjusting the valve lash at 100K-mile intervals it may be down to 90K miles.

The only Chevy parts in the rear drums is just the wheel cylinders. They are a direct bolt in, no modification needed. They are a larger cylinder that allows more braking capacity in the rear wheels. Yes, it does work quite well. I did it and would recommend it to anyone that has a 2500 with drums. Tom
