disconnect the handbrake cable the adjuster is the cam looking thing with the serrated edge on it, you need to get a screwdriver in where the 2 bits meet to push it in. put the drums on, give the pedals a few pumps and spin the drums a bit and repeat the pedal pumping until the pedal is good, then hook the handbrake back up and adjust it |

Push the cylinder together too, that might get you some more movement |

Aren't you supposed to have your shoes ground to match your drums or something like that? Not that I did when I last changed shoes. |

You need to be careful, there are two different size drums. You need the right shoes for the drums |

That's what I was thinking, maybe they gave him the wrong shoes? |

Did you check your drums to see if they needed machining? |

bfh then swear when you realise they gave you the wrong pads..
i was given two sets by a mate that worked at a brake place .. when compared next to each other one of the sets holes were slightly diff and the pad overall was longer if that makes sense. :S |

same has happended to me a few times. Usually just squeeze everything together and just fits on. One time i swapped the drums to the other side of the car and it fitted. or grab a slightly more worn drum that you have laying around and it'll fit. I think you can also get different brake cylinders which may push the brake shoes out further, making it impossible to get the drum on. Just check all the bits you bought with your old bits to see if they're all the same. |
