Rear drum brake problems
After putting my truck back together and getting the e-brake cable setup and tight, the back brakes dont work well. I adjusted the cable where it is pretty tight and when I push the ebrake all the way down it pulls hard, but it doesnt make the rear wheels lock up, I can still force them to turn by hand.
I put new pads on the rear drums, installed everything correctly (I think) and as far as I know I have the pads adjusted out as far as I can get them. During the short time I putted the truck around, the rear brakes wouldnt grab. Any ideas? Im still using the original drums, Im thinking maybe they are worn down too far, might try to take a couple pictures tomorrow.

Re: Rear drum brake problems
adjust them all the way out till you hear and feel them contacting the drums then adjust them a couple of clicks in
