Re: brakes still a draggin
One of the things that the old mechanic taught me is to set the shoes. Put the drum on and adjust the shoes out against the drum snugly so the adjuster gets hard to move. This will put the shoes out evenly with the drum, then back them off until they just barely drag somewhere on the rotation. This means that they will only touch in one place not the entire rotation.... Now the shoes are in the proper position .......I rarely hear anyone mention this anymore? Maybe it will help?

Re: brakes still a draggin
Dog also he states when he tightens the wheel it drags.
Check the shoes to the old ones? are the new ones wider? Re set all the hardware. |

Re: brakes still a draggin
the drums do not have a hole the book says that the trailing shoe should have part # 17L on it and the leading shoe should be 17T. if by trailing shoe they mean the one to the rear of the cart then i have them on correctly. did not know i could open up such acan of worms.doin a brake job on a golf car......geez thanks for all the input
