Hello,
I am rebuilding my 9 inch rear drums on my 1987 Ford Ranger for the first time and the shoes seem to be spread too far to allow the drum back on. On one side I was able to get it on with some effort but it could only spin backwards with effort and not at all forward??
I am thinking that the parking brake might be stuck on however I do not know how the parking brake arm inside the drum should look in order to confirm this. However nothing in the drums move when the parking brake is actuated.
I also read that the little lip on the edge of the drums braking surface needs to be sanded down before putting it back on? Does this mean it should be flush with the whole braking surface or just lowered and the rust removed?
The little adjuster screw is fully retracted.
I have attached pictures below
Thank you
