Re: Brake centering tool
Even if you have the shoes arced to match the drum size, the odds of them being centered are remote. They will equalize on the rears but not on stock fronts.
It's important to note that there is more to a proper centering tool than most folks realize. The centering tool must be a micrometer of sorts OR have the ability to be sized to the drum that will be used. For example, if your drum is .043" over then the centering tool must be set to that size. If the centering tool is set too large or too small when setting up the shoes then they will no longer be centered when you properly adjust the adjusting wedge to match the drum.
If you go through this exercise correctly just one time I suspect you will be amazed what you find.
