Quote from: "wayne petty"pep the brake linings are on backward on that removed set up......


look at the length of the linings on the shoes...

the parking brake lever is on the right along with the primary shoe....

when this happens ... there will be reduced forward brake function...

i know that you have disassembled it already...  

but for the other rodders that are going to read this post... i thought i would keep this correct...

(will someone. remove the sheep posts...)
why, what's wrong with ewe?

besides, i'd rather read about sheep than gerbils...

unless the cable comes out the back.
i'll look tonight when i get home.
i've got an explorer rear sitting around...
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it\'s still on my list

at least there is one primary and one secondary on that side... they really pull hard when they are put on the same side... long and long    short and short..

Yeah Wayne...I never took much notice when I took it off. Strange thing is the last few drum set up I have done never had leading and trailing shoes. They were all the same. I guess you can't go wrong that way :wink:  :)
See Ya
