on the 135 with the drum brakes the p o bent the brake camshaft rod.would like to remove and straighten.have drum and shoes removed.i know that you have to remove the the lever that is keyed to shaft.question is next to the backing plate on the outside there is a small spring and a''washer''? that covers the hole in backing plate.what keeps that in place and how do i go about removing it? washer and spring seem to be very secure on shaft.what am i missing?

if you are talking about that 3/4 inch shaft that rotates to expand the brake shoes, its a bear to straighten in place

I finally got mine off, laid it bow side up on a large flat boulder, gave it a good crack with 10 lb sledge

stinking thing jumped up and hit me in the leg, still have a lump there (yes, I am polish)

took it over to the garage, heated it very red with old rosebud and it is now nice and straight

repaint before re-installing, don"t forget to adjust your brakes afterwards, likely have one badly worn shoe from distorted cam action

Hello,
The lever on the camshaft is held by a small screw. There is a key in the lever. You would probably need heat to remove it. Depending on where the bend is, you should with a little bit of preperation be able to straighten the rod without having to remove the back plate. If a press is available so much the better. The onlt thing that holds the spring in place is its grip on the rod. These springs normally will have rusted by now if its an earlyish 135. If not, use a screw driver or a gloved hand and turn the spring in the opposite direction to the windings to loosen it and move it back. A drop of oil will help.
