My brakes pull to the left hard - ideas?

Good point - There are FRONT and REAR shows for each wheel. This is pretty interesting becuase our mostly oeriginal 57 Chevy 3100 pulls hard to the right when braking. I adjusted the brakes on the left side and its a lot better.

That is interesting.

When you say you adjusted them, you just tightened up the adjuster until there was some drag?

I thought these brakes were supposed to be self adjusting as you apply the brake in reverse?

I did notice that there were different shoes. The shop that had done it before me had put the shorter shoe in the front, so that's what I did when I redid them. It did not appear that there was a left or right at all that I could tell.

I think I'll attempt to tighten the adjuster on the right front and see what happens.
