Re: Drum install
Just make sure that the part of the key that has a slant on one edge goes in first towards the backing plate. It will almost bottom out where the end of the axle housing begins. You can actually see the keyway groove in the axle sloping upwards here to mate with the angle of the key. Tap the key downward into place in its groove or use a vise grips to seat it. Should the drum not go onto the axle with a little persuasion, back off the brake shoe adjustment via the wedge. The drum WILL go onto the axle with some "convincing".
