Re: Brake drum headaches!

The term for that flat bar I mentioned is the "strut" per your attached diagram and from memory that is correct. You do not need this unless you are concerned about your park brake working. My guess is that your park brake cables are froze up and need replacing. If you have no plan on using the park brake then remove the strut bars and have a great day. They are not required for normal brake application.
