My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

Yeah, a lot of newer stuff you have to have computers to reset codes, so you can’t do it yourself.

Does anyone here know where the access plate/hole/whatever for the brake shoe adjuster is on a 14b/FF? Or have a pic so I know what I'm looking for? For the life of me I can't seem to find it.

On my 14 BSF I had to knock it out myself and buy a plug at the parts store for it. I ended up pulling the drum to figure it out.

Here's a picture of the right rear on Rawhide. Left side is the same. Looks like the backing plate is made for left or right and that's why there's two holes? I haven't opened up the rear brakes on this truck yet.

Probably miniscule odds, but any chance you have a part number for the plug?

No, but it was on the shelf somewhere. That was back in like 2012.

Found a part number at work and ordered them. Just hope they're big enough. Dorman #29000. My biggest problem currently is I can't get the drums to come off no matter how hard I beat on them. They are friggin stuck.

Be sure when you do get them off, that you have a good hold on them; those drums are heavy!!!

I got a couple from one of the Houston members; with a bunch of other parts he gave me last fall. I thought they were gonna throw my back out!
