When I click the mountain icon I get a request for image URL? Do I need to upload pics to somewhere?

 

I think the pics are now attached.

 

If you scroll down, you will see the option to browse device.

 

I believe the pics of right side finished are available. Let me know if not. Meanwhile, I opened up left side rear. Shoes on that side appear as new and I don't see any difference in how that is installed. Any inspirations on next step would be appreciated.

 

Continuing to look for a problem: I removed all installed parts of right side and then carefully reinstalled. Hub goes on with a little difficulty and manual rotation shows resistance but I can turn it.

Possibilities?:

1. Wheel cylinder. Top of both shoes are in contact with anchor post so I assume that means cylinders are completely withdrawn and not the issue.

2. Wrong new shoes. I compared with old. Metal is same dimensions, no shoe material left so can't tell. They seem same as left.

 

If brake shoes aren't adjusted properly, the brakes will be mushy and work very poorly. The shoes should be almost in contact with the drum.

 

The problem I seem to be having is that I cannot adjust the brakes away from drum. Adjuster is completely screwed in (as short as possible) and yet shoes are still in contact with drum. Upper half circle of shoes is in contact with anchor and bottom end is constrained by adjust screw. The only explanations I can think of is either wrong shoes or I just need to let shoes work in.

 

I have found no way to adjust the shoes away from the drum.

 

Maybe take it to a brake shop.

 

My conclusion as well. Thx for trying. I'll try to let you folks know what it was.
