There's a small rubber plug that goes into a hole on the back side of a wheel that keep road grime out of the indies of the drum. What do you call that plug and where can I get them?

I think it's called a brake drum dust plug. Let me look it up to be sure.

OK........Tell me......I just got a Ford Master Parts catalogue and it's a great thing, but there is nothing that tells me what these parts in the illustrations are called. I have parts numbers but no names. Anywhere I can cross reference to get that or do I need to but another book?

I would call that plug a brake adjuster access plug. We have all the vendors listed in the FAQ. Call the nearest one to you and describe what part you need. I have searched briefly, but can't come up with a technical term for that plug.

They've got them at the local autoparts store.

If you buy a brake rebuild kit, you know the springs and such... the plug comes with them. Also if u buy the self adjuster kit... you will get the plug too. Not sure if you can buy it alone... never had to but what could it cost like 50 cents?
