2.5" to 3" Rear Brake Conversion on D/W-250 Trucks

NAPA Part Numbers

This is a simple conversion that can easily be done during a routine rear brake replacement.  You will need a brake spring tool, a 2-9/16" axle nut socket, and a torque wrench.  It would also be helpful to have access to a press to install the wheel seals.  To do this however, the rear drums need to be turned to accommodate the larger shoes.
