Nothing more fun than driving a CJ with front drum brakes. Stopping power at its finest.

That looks like it is for pulling the spring out of my eye.

I'll raise you an old truck overloaded with firewood that just went through muddy water and then needs to go down a steep long hill!

They are hydraulic, right?
A rear-drum TJ has 3 brake hoses; 2 in the front and 1 in the rear.
I replace them as "a set", since they are likely all the same age and have all suffered the same exposure, use, etc.
Replacing a 'working/ still good' brake hose is pretty cheap insurance if you ask me.
Like I would never replace all of the hardware and shoes without also replacing the cylinders.

Gotcha. I misinterpreted it as meaning a set of hoses for the rear drums, when there is only one in the rear. Thanks for clarifying.They are hydraulic, right?

That's why your truck should have a truck 4 spd. !
I suggest painting the new brake cylinders so they don't turn into a mass of rust...

Imagine the confidence boost you'd have in the system if you had also replaced those old hoses...

I actually ended up priming and painting that too - and cleaning out all that black dust.

POR-15 would be my GO-TO for that kind of project.
Awesome product that provides a great finish.
And it wears as good as powder coat in my experience.
I'm still alive because that old 72 w200 had a np435. Cool truck,shitty brakes!
