Post primary(front most shoe) wearing into drum face...

ok, who thinks they may know cause of the metal backing of a primary shoe wearing a groove into the outside diameter of the inside drum face flange,,,, ?

been scraping and grinding and i finally got one drum pried off and i found this condition.. the shoes arent really worn out either, need adjusted probably though, but still... its like the bottom of the front most shoe is out away from the backing plate too far.

ideas ?

thanks

Talking

Backing plate bent? Inner bearing problem? That one brake shoe bent?

May those who love us, love us, any of those who do not love us, may God turn their hearts.
And if God is unable to turn their hearts, may he turn their ankles so we may know them by their limping.

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.

Shoe too wide for the drum or drum too narrow for the shoe? Ya never know some previous owner may have substituted a different drum w/ the same bolt pattern or installed the wrong size shoes. Hold down clip/spring missing or not on right? Also maybe springs or other components are worn causing some slack.

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other.
See which one gets filled first.

If it's the right shoe and the right drum, is the retainer spring there?
