You guys have been invaluable on this project. Here is the status.
The bad cylinder ruined the brakes and probably the bearing seal. A total mess in that one. Another was starting, the paint was peeling off the brake shoe but no puddle.
Doing all 4 cylinders, and you are right I would always wonder if all 4 were not replaced.
Got the right seals, finally and am using speedbleeders on all 4. Currently waiting for the rain to stop and 2 speedbleeders to finish.
The lisle greaser looks real good. Got one, and can't wait to use it.
On the adjustment thing, I would like to get them set myself, but will see if the adjusters work once it is on the road.
Got new springs also, but some did not match up well. The main ones for return fit perfectly and went in. But my arms are rather sore today after fighting all those springs.
If this happens again the back will get all disks, I forgot how much I hated drum brakes!

Again thanks to all for your information. Looking forward to the first real drive in 10 years and being able to stop again.
