Evening all

I've just given the brakes on my 90 an overhaul. Fronts went well with new pads and pistons/seals in the calipers.

The rears are a different story!! I replaced the shoes, springs and wheel cylinders, other than a few seized nuts & bolts it didn't go to bad. My problem starts when I put the drum on. It goes on alright and turns freely but when I put the wheel on and do it up the shoes start to drag.

I have the adjuster backed right off and I've used a bit of copper slip grease where the shoes sit in the back plate and pivot at the bottom.

Other than me putting washers on the wheel bolt studs under the drum to space it off has anyone got any ideas? Please????? She's stuck on me drive and I need to use her.
