Harley Davidson big twin 1936 to 1957 mechanical rear brake restoration

In this video, we work on restoring a mechanical rear brake assembly for the restoration of a 1940 UH, so in this video we go through a somewhat step by step process for what it takes to restore the mechanical rear brake for all 1936 to 1957 big twin Harley Davidson models. But this is mostly for 1938 to 1957 big twin models because the backing plates were different in 1936 and 1937. but this will still work for 1936 and 1937 big twins as well. We start off with the general information on the specific parts used, then move on to where they go, and then the assembly procedure, and finally finish it off by getting it all ready to be installed to the frame. So watch this informative video and stay tuned for more to come, as we keep moving forward on this restoration.
