Re: Rear brake woes
It's early, I've only had one cup of Joe. But, perspective is important. Cause I'm easily confused, LOL.
We appear to be working on the left rear wheel, as viewed from the driver's seat looking forward toward the radiator??? The drum appears to be hanging up on the service brake shoes and linings.
Coyle,
Are you sure you mean you move the lever 'back'? Moving the service brake lever toward the back would mean toward the rear bumper of the car. When doing this, the brake shoes should not expand. They should retract fully??? This would mean the cam is turned 180 degrees as mentioned above???
See Bratton's rear brake assembly diagram on their web site. It also shows the correct orientation of the e-brake retraction spring when you get to that point.
