Mushy brakes 4 life...

Small shoe front/Big rear. Assembled as per the service manuals. I’ll tell you another thing. Since converting to green bearings from drdiff.... the drums locked up against the backing plates. Where the backing plate goes into the drum recess. Once I tighten the wheels I was like what happened. How did tightening the wheels lock the rear. I put 1 AN grade thick washer between the axle and drum... spaced it where it doesn’t rub. Obviously I wouldn’t drive around like that. But it’s what I had to do to get the wheels tight, adjust the drum, and bleed. Guess the green bearings set my axles in a touch. Never had that problem on any of my other 8.75 green bearing swaps. It’s an absolute wonder that drum brakes even function at all as crude as the whole design is.
