So I was elbow deep in my drum brakes yesterday replacing the wheel cylinders, and i decided to replace the shoes as well and all the hardware... I went to the parts store and got the shoes for my vehicle (99 4x4 XLT, 3.0L V6) and got home to install them, and they're not the right ones!
but it's weird, because they fit perfectly, and are totally the right ones, except my old shoes had a threaded stud (attached to the shoe) on the bottom, for the adjusting screw to screw onto. and these new ones don't, and neither do ANY of the other shoes i've looked up at ALL the parts stores, including ford. what the hells the deal? IU can't use the shoes without the stud, because there's nowhere for the adjusting screw to go.
anyone else have this problem?
