As the title states just replaced my 9in drums, shoes, and hardware on my 93 Ranger hoping to solve my weak/useless parking brake. When I initially looked the shoes were worn incredibly thin so I figured replacing them would fix it, but unfortunately it hasn't.
After installing the new shoes and hardware I adjusted the shoes so that there's a slight friction when putting the drums on. Before putting on the drum I could see the drums actuating under normal braking and engaging the parking brake.
Pretty confused so I'm assuming the next step would be parking cables, right? I also am curious what wheelbase length I should order. It's a reg cab with a 6ft bed so I'm assuming 108"?
