Hubs don't fit on new brakes
I just replaced all mechanical brake parts on my '34 and now the hubs barely turn with the adjusting wedge all the way out and the brake rods disconnected.
Does anyone have some advice for me? |

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
Did you arc the shoes?

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
I did not arc the shoes as they seem to match the hubs without any gaps.

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
Try activating the brakes several times so the shoes, when retracted, clear the drum.

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
Do you have woven linings or bonded linings ?

I put woven linings on the brake shoes.

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
Did your brakes work before you replaced the linings? By chance do you still have the linings you removed ? If so measure the thickness compared to the new ones.

Did you purchase the woven linings recently? I have been waiting on my backorder for a couple of months. Art

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
There are still a few outfits that will arc the shoes to the drums out there. New drums may have a bit less that 12-inch inside diameter. Usually when mating drums to hubs, the drums are turned after the mating process to insure concentricity and fit.

Re: Hubs don't fit on new brakes
Anyone remember a TV commercial some time back showing two guys with a big hammer installing a battery and saying "we can make it fit !"
