i dont know if it was ever swapped before i bought it. how you tell.. i do have a parts truck i bought for parts so id have to get that off the ground out of the ice and hope i can get the drum off.. i was hoping youd say the measurements of the drum are night right the 10 15/16 or so
and this BOM where i find that.
so your saying this truck has covid and the infected 2020 lol and it be a year before i fix this truck lol i wont be fixing it this year lol frig
so i dunno what to do??? will the old pads say anything if i send pics of it?
Try tapping it on. I can't find any measurements on the drums. I looked but I am on a phone and can't access the desktop version of sites. Like I said I had to beat mine on because where the pads don't touch it gets a rust lip
i havent gottan a chance to measure anything ill do tommorow.. dealing with headache
but this truck giving me a headache thats for sure and didnt get a chance to try to hammer on the drum and i figured maybe the rear end has a stamp on it so u guys would know?
You appear to have the primary shoe in the correct (facing forward) position .. but I am not sure of that.
Your anchor plate, at the top of this pic is inverted. That may cause the brake shoes to be spread just enough to cause your problem.
ah ok ill try flipping it.. it was hell to get it to stay as it moves to easily when trying to get all this crap assembled.. so like rear calipers better then drums lol
my sisters sonoma all disk brakes makes it easier... but ill give that a shot and get back to ya guys
and the pic you showed that is the passenger side right side i guess..
but ill give that a shot now and fip it like in the drawing.. lets hope thats the issue
as i did clean the drum with w wire wheel and still wouldnt go on.. but i kicked it on it slide on.. and is tight as a nun .. yet i thought should be loose like throwing a hot dog down a hallway... but ill give it a shot
so flipping it didnt help.. drum still wont go on.. and why doesnt the Clip go on that post like i mentioned before.. are there different sizes... as i was gonna tackle filing it to fit over the new shoes.. but its like its an older version then??
but ya flipping it didnt do nothing here some pics still cant get the damn **** on.. i used my finger to size it and i took pics of the old brakes
i gonna try to really wire brush it all till i get it really clean... as i dont work on these everyday.. so i dont know whats acceptable tightness or not i just follow youtube videos but they show slides on perfectly smooth and u gotta adjust it several times.. here its completely turned in and yet
its tight so hmmm
