getting at Super A brakes

Posted by Pa. Pete on September 05, 2006 at 07:58:41 from (159.240.10.99):

I bought a '49 Super A in less than stellar condition, and not well taken care of. (Remember my recent carburetor pictures!)

Fixing things one by one.

First a question. I noticed theres an inside right rear wheel weight, but not a left. Is this correct, like to counterbalance the transaxle being shifted left of center?

My brakes are underwhelming, and I was thinking about taking a look at the brake linings. Don't know if they're shot, or if they are wet with leaked oil. Maybe both. Any of you gents give me a quick tutorial about these things?- Am I thinking right that i can jack it up just enough to take the weight off the wheel and get the bolts out, and then 'walk' the tire away? Would you take off the outer wheel weights first?

Next, how heavy are the final drive housings, and same deal, can they be supported by a jack while loosened?

Last, it's unclear to me from the service manual when the differential shafts come out- before or after the housings are free?

ANything else that is crucial to not busting anything or getting me hurt?
