[Healeys] Brake Drums

[Michael Salter]

Dan the most likely cause is that the lining material on the shoes is too
thick. I used to have a brake shoe grinder and almost always had to remove a
little from new shoes to get them in.
It is important to ensure that the radius of the new shoes (curvature) is
exactly the same as the drum as well!!

I am installing new brake shoes on the rear of my BJ7. I haved the adjusters
all the way in and still can't get the drums to slide on. Any ideas on what
I'm doing wrong??
