. New drums6 cyl brakes - 2/21/2007 9:27:06 PM    thors65   Posts: 3 Joined: 2/21/2007 Status: offline My son and I have been working on the brakes of his 6 cyl 65 Coupe. We have taken everything apart after photos were taken and replace all parts. New drums and shoes, wheel cylinders, bearings and hubs. There was no problem with rebuild of rear brakes. But the fronts!!!! Problem, when trying to fit drums onto hub the shoes are too tight. The adjuster is run all the way in and the shoes have the proper leading and trailing shoe in proper location. I can work drum on but they will not turn due to contact with shoes. There is no further adjustment for clearance. There isn't any fluid pressure on wheel cylinders. Any tips? I would hate to have to turn new drums. AL Post #: 1
