I have had no luck finding an exploded view of the rear brake assembly with Dodge/Mopar part numbers; I would have thought such would be an easy find.

12" Bendix Brakes in Dana 70; I would even settle for a diagram for a Dana 60 as most of the parts are the same.

If anyone has one bookmarked, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

 

I'll look and see what my shop manual has. It might have the exploded diagram but I don't recall it having part numbers but will check.

 

This is from an F250, but its the same 12" Bendix stuff.

 

Thanks for the picture.

I have F-250s and 350s and also several Dodge 250s and 350s and I mix and match and swap that stuff around depending on the need at the time; I even have several trailer axles that I have made from brand-new military surplus Dana 60s from way back when such stuff could be had for dirt cheap --- it is awfully handy when your trailer uses the exact same brake components as the truck.

As detailed and accurate as the picture is, it ignores several pieces that are hidden behind the top pivot of the Park Brake Lever, most notable the thick steel pronged gizmo that engages the lever and spreads the shoes.

Some sources call it a Park Brake Actuator and others call it a Cam Plate among a dozen other names.

There is a Right and a Left.

That piece in particular is the one I need numbers for; I would like to have Mopar numbers, Ford numbers, I-H numbers, and numbers for any other beast that used Dana axles and 12' Bendix brakes.

If Dorman makes these pieces, they keep the fact well hidden.

 

found the "cam plate" at this link; ford part # for the left is e5tz2a142b

THANKS ! Armed with that info, I found that changing the "b" to "a" is the Ford number for the Right side.

I never imagined these would be so hard to find as they are definitely a replaceable "wear" part that, once worn a bit, will not engage the Park Brake horns on the shoes and spread them thus no Park Brakes.

The reason this piece is a separate piece from the lever is so that only this little part can be changed without having to replace the entire lever; otherwise, the prongs on this would just have been included on the lever and it all be accomplished with a single piece.

 

This should be in the Sticky's.

 

Well....., my questions must have woke up a few people and spurred them into action.

I searched the part # on EBay that U2slow provided and some vendor had seven brand-new-in-the-bag for the left side; no rights anywhere to be found.

While I was checking around to see if there might be a lower price somewhere, that 7 turned to 4 and then 3 and I got off the pot and placed my order for one; $27.08 after taxes; that should have left 2, but when I went back to the page = only one left and it may be gone as I type this.

I bet that guy had been sitting on those for years and is scratching his head wondering why on earth they have all gone within a few minutes and to as many different customers.

There is one listing on EBay with the correct part # for the right side, complete with a Ford bag with the number on the bag and a correct description for that number; however, the actual part he has pictured is NOT a Cam Plate, but a commonly available Self-Adjuster Lever --- I would be a bit afraid to take a chance that he has the pictures mixed up as most likely he will send that wrong part.

 

Oh....., I will also add this; although the part #s provided in u2slows picture are indeed Ford numbers, the picture of the Park Brake Lever is definitely a Dodge lever.

Curiously, although every other piece is exactly the same, Ford or Dodge, the Dodge lever has a superior connection between the cable and lever, with a little spring-loaded clip to hold things in place.

The only thing that keeps the Ford cable in the lever is mostly it's imagination; the Ford lever has a zig-zag slot of sorts, open on the back side, with no clip or retainer of any sort.

It is altogether possible and actually easy to accidentally disconnect the cable from the Ford lever, especially when there is plenty of slack and one decides to check cable freeness/movement by working the cable in/out of the sheathing; when you push the cable in,it can easily be pushed out of the zig-zag slot and there you have a days work pulling the axle and hub before you can even see what you have done.

I guess if one tried hard enough the same could be accomplished with the Dodge cable/lever, but not quite so likely as on a Ford.

 

I found this Picture with Ford Numbers ; the top half of the picture is rear Bendix for 90% of applications, Dodge, Ford, or I-H.

The bottom of the picture is front drum brakes.

 

You shouldn't have informed Them of this, now They will know they can make a slight change that will make Them a little more money...

My shop manual doesn't show part numbers, only numbers for the "special tools".

That's cool you swapped the trailer axle brakes to match the truck. Handy. You still hauling cattle?

 

Not doing anywhere near as much cattle hauling as I used to do; people just won't/can't pay what it costs to operate anymore and I am not going to seek out jobs that lose me money before I leave the house; anything that can't show profit on the kitchen table with pencil and paper is definitely not going to work out otherwise in actual practice.

Just about all my cattle hauling these days is me driving somebody else's big truck; they pay me whether they are making money or not; and, if they go busted, it's their own fault for not spending that time on the kitchen table with pencil and paper.
