hey guys i just did my brakes on the back i got new drums, shoes and the kit for it and when i put it in drive it will rub but in reverse its fine but from reverse to drive you can feel the pedal stiffen up. what should i do?

superj

i would say loosen then shoes

cherokee1990

i did all the way and when you say loosen the shoes you mean the adjustor

small bit more info if you please...why did you replace all of that, just worn or something go wrong?

if your adjusters are all the way in and it still does it my guess would be they gave you the wrong drums...other wise you may have a problem with your emergency brake being out of adjustment...try backing up several trimes and hitting the brake also actuate the lever inside the vehicle to help with adjustment of the e-brake.

If none of that helps try and clean the drums with brake clean as they may still have the anti rust coating on them unless of course you cleaned them with brake clean beore install (the correct way)...let us know.

If you loosened up the aduster it souldn't be rubbing unless the E brake is slightly applied.

check the fluid level, the E brake cable tension, & set your adjuster correctlly!

i replaced because they were worn down, i did the kit because it was all rusty. the parking bake is down and it has slack
