disclamer. this is in no way the right way to do this nor the only way. nor does it aply to all the trucks just what seems to work on my rust bucket lol
This is good info here I'm guessing I left mine loose because there is little drag but just a touch when putting the drum on. Also I back off my ebrake cuz I'm not sure if it even works. Looks like further investigation is required.
