Problem with my drums

[Bonzo]

Hi Wim

Just to echo what others have said, you will need to adjust the handbrake ratchet to it's minimum adjustment .... If you are using the original adjusters, make sure that they are working freely & service them if needed.

Just to check with you, are the driveshafts turning freely before you fit the drums ? ( I am sure you said they were )

I doubt you have the handbrake cable fitted but if you do, make sure it is not over adjusted.

One last point ... Sometimes when new brake shoes are fitted, they will bind quite badly untill the hydraulic slave cylinder has been activated by the brake pedal ... This action will ensure that the brake shoes are centred correctly.
As Adrian has said, it'll sometimes help to centre the shoes a little if you tap the drum with a soft faced hammer ( Copper/hide )

I am sure all the shoes need is a bit of centering & bedding in ( More so, if the drum has a wear ridge )
