I am in the process of changing my rear drums, shoes and bearings. The problem is that when I assemble everything the drums would not go over the shoes. I pushed that adjuster in all the way and still can't get the drum over them. The shoes are set in right and lined up. I had this problem before...what could the problem be?

hmm, I had the exact same problem when doing my drums, I ended up using the old drums sadly. Talk to Sasquatch about this, I believe he has some tricks.

yep, if i recall is a 'ratchet like' design... so you want to "reset" the ratchet if you have new ones...Originally posted by Mike McKown View PostPull the pin out on the brake cable lever to make sure the shoes are retracted.
