Okay, First I have a 91 Navajo
Problem, I just spent this weekend replacing both rear wheel cylinders, both rear brake shoes, and the drivers side rear brake drum. I have the passenger side on (no problems there). The driver side however, I'm having to beat the drum on with my rubber mallet. Is this because, both the drum and shoes are new on this side? And if so, Do I not worry about it and just let it "wear" down?
What I have done: I've made sure the "adjustment star bolt" is completely in. I put the shoe with the longer "pad - friction area" on the back, closer to the bumper. And, I've went over everything two or three times. Everything looks good. Any i deers????
