    after I went thru all this, I did not knock out the brake cam and lube it... let me know if that fixes your problem, Jason

    Hey - did your wheel hub come off? Mine was stuck on - I think. I am just wondering if that is normal? How do you get the it off - anyone?

    I had to pull and replace the shoes around the hub - what a pain!

    make shure you clean out where it slides through the drum,, they like to hold dirt in there ,,blast it out with brake kleen and some air,, wouldn't hut to run a little fine sandpaper in there if any corrosion.. then gease it up well..thats the problem 50% of the time
