Re: Rear brake woes
Not sure if this is the best place to post this inquiry, but it relates to rear brake woes. I've had the rear brake shoes refurbished (not replaced) and replaced the prior the bonded lining to now woven brake linings. Does this automatically trigger the need to turn the drums? I have installed, realized I installed incorrectly, and reinstalled many of the rear brake parts including springs, etc. and believe I have it all correct. (learned a lot with all the mistakes, actually, but wasn't initially fun). However, when I attempt to test the hub fit - before buttoning everything down - it is either a very tight fit or not a good fit at all.
I'm curious, should the drum easily fit over the woven linings? I believe the rear right can fit over, though snug, but I can't even get the rear left to fit over the lip. Is this normal when going from bonded to woven lining?
Thanks for any help!
