Fernie, I applaud your efforts to find the really unique things that were just thrown away by the motorpool mechanics. I think they just got in the way of a quick adjustment. After all, the dust caps are a little challenging to put back in place after a brake adjustment, but they do look good there. :)

G'day Fernando,

Rub some light oil on the area of the dust cover that get's pushed into the backing plate it will help.

Fernando,

A generic brake adjuster plug used on many 1960-80's Ford cars and trucks also works well. I found them locally in stock at my REAL auto parts store.

I bet you are glad to be almost done with the axle seal/brake job.

THAT is a great photo!!! I can see just how important the dust caps are and your desire to find some for your truck. :)
