Default Re: Rear brake adjustment

Did you arch the shoes to the drum? If the new lining is thicker or thinner than the old lining it is possible that the shoe will contact the drum in only one spot. If you adjust the shoes to contact the drum they will rub on that one spot and heat up the drum. But you will not have much stopping power because there will not be full contact.
