Re: Can't Get Hub On
With the FHT kit the adjusting wedge floats so there is nothing wrong with the adjustment shafts. John can just push the one that is sticking out further in and the other one will move out.
The problem is in the roller tracks. The shoes are not centered because the roller tracks are not correct. This would move the shoes horizontal in the rear brakes. In the front the shoes would be moved up or down.
It could also be that the roller pins are not riding on the roller tracks but I think John would notice that. If that is the case a screw driver can be used to lever the shoe into the proper position.
The center gauge that the usual vendors sell is a good tool to gauge if the shoes are centered. Lacking that tool a ruler can be used measured against the lip on the backing plate or the shaft.
