Anyways, now install the drums and practice snugging the drums up, when you get close to locking them up go one click at a time till it locks then back off approx. 6 single clicks. What you want to do is get the same feel on both sides when locking them up. Very important you want both sides the same. You can adjust each side 1 to 2 off from each other to get a even feel. ALSO ALWAYS ROTATE EACH SIDE AS IF YOU ARE DRIVING FORWARD!! AND KEEP SPINING THE DRUM FORWARD AS YOU WORK. They should be fully seated all the way on if they flip flop in the beginning you can install 2 or 3 lug nuts with some washers to keep them on. I really should have started with this because not a lot of people know this, so FIRST loosen the parking brake cable about a inch or more this will make sure the shoes are properly seated so you can properly adjusted the shoes. You will never get the proper braking without all these steps. When done adjusting the shoes now you can adjust the parking brake, tighten it up till you lock up the brakes on about 4 clicks. Now check and make sure the brakes are not dragging if they are loosen a little more. When you get all done it will stop like a new vehicle. Test once or twice in the driveway as you'll put yourself into the windshield. Gots to keep the wife and kiddies safe. Ride on brother.
