A plate that is rusted thin, cracked, or has worn shoe pads lets the shoes sit crooked, which gives poor braking and noise. Correct 1955–63 Split Bus parts are increasingly scarce, and the year split matters: 1964-on Buses use different plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your Bus is a 1955–1963 model before ordering; this is the right (passenger) side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean and lightly lube the shoe contact pads on the plate with high-temperature brake grease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer or replace the wheel cylinder, and replace any fluid-soaked shoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten the plate mounting bolts to factory specification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBleed and adjust the brakes, then test at low speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe do not publish torque values here; use the factory workshop manual for your vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the JP-8330-0 fit my 1961 Split Bus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
