Hello Everyone
So today I had the day off of work and decided it was a good day to change some drum brakes. I have never done it before but I watched some youtube videos and figured I knew enough. Everything went smooth until I put the drum back on. IT WOULD NOT FIT! I made sure that the adjuster was all the way back and all the parts where seated properly. It seemed like the braking part (the actual material for the friction) on the shoe was just too much on the front shoe. The holes also did not line up it seemed like the front side was just too much forward. Any ideas on what might be wrong because I am at a loss.
I ended up putting on the old ones that are paper thin and cracked until I have more time to look at them.
I thought that they gave me the wrong shoes but apparently they didn't
Extra Info-
I was working on the rear passenger side
2001 Dodge ram 1500 Laramie 4x4
They are whearever brakes the shelf number is s723 at advance auto. ($20.00 for both sides)
Yes, The parking brake was off.
