The drum seemed to be seized as I could not turn it. The car had been sitting for some time. I managed to get it off but it took a lot of work. I cleaned up the drum and brake shoes. When I tried to refit the drum there is no way it would go on.The park brake cable is not causing the issue. I lubricated the adjuster and tried backing it off so I could get some clearance. The adjuster dosn't appear to be moving those little "pistons?" inward?( What do you call those things anyway) Can the adjuster mechanism get stripped so that when you do the adjustment it dosn't move the pistons or can the pistons themselves seize up? What am I missing here?:confusion: The drum on the drivers side came off and went on with no problem. Almost forgot...I filed down the shoe material on the leading and trailing shoe edges but still no joy?
