Hello,
I just decided to pull my rear RT brake because it was freezing up. I assumed the brake cylinder on that brake was leaking fluid. Sure enough, i was right! Shoes lining looked amazingly good after I cleaned it up. I ordered a new cylinder and new springs from MOSS MOTORS. I removed the shoes and put in the new cylinder. I used mostly new springs.
THE PROBLEM IS:
I had a real problem getting the drum back on. I adjusted the brakes all the way down and disconnected the hand brake so that it would not interfere. I finally got them on, but they are as tight as hell!! After I mounted the tire, it would not turn.
I am hoping once I bleed the brake and pump the brakes, that brake may self-center and loosen up. Has anyone experienced a similar problem and can advise me how to get me out of this fix? thank so much!
