Hello Mike - 

--8<--cut 

MR> Losing the brakes twice like that can be traumatizing
MR> indeed! Recall, GM has an historical problem with rear drum
MR> brakes. Many models were recalled because of too thin guage
MR> steel used for the backplate. The cylinders simply pop out
MR> of alignment because the backplate buckles. Rust just makes
MR> the problem worse. Replacing the cylinders alone is just a
MR> stop gap measure. There may be a hidden guarantee on the
MR> brake backplate if there was a recall. Check this out first
MR> thing. 

Thank you for the suggestion but I would have to convince GM
that _they_ made the Lincoln and not FoMoCo. ;-)
