go on then yer twisted me arm

thinkin abbout it after me last thread of starting issues i should have called this one stopping issues :frusty::frusty:

Did you say you'd re-attached the spring to the other shoe? I don't think that's right, there's a peg that it goes onto (on the back brakes at least), it may be quite possible it's pulling the shoues in too tightly now, pushing the cylinders in, using up all the pedal travel before they get to the drums, if you know what I mean.

Aye, spring goes from a peg on the back plate to the peg on the shoe next to the snail. If you put it all the way across it pulls both shoes in and you need two stamps on the pedal to get any braking....**** me up when I managed it too!

D

I had the same problem - took em all to bits and found that the crap quality shoes I was sent was the cause. As I turned the snail the peg on the shoes was bending and pulling its self out of the rivet hole. Had to take them all off and weld the lot up so the peg stayed straight.
You might also want to check the fixed bottom boss oposite to the wheel cylinder for movement. The should be fixed but can getworn over time and turn the hole in the back plate oval. Again, they needed to be welded up.

wondered what that friggin peg was abbout so i used it but with me putting the spring on the other shoe it pushed that side of the slave cylinder too far in sending it off centre and the seal was past the brake fluid hole meaning it could escape past but shes reet now and before anything else goes tits up im trying to get it booked in for the MOT some time tomorrow

fingers/toes/knees/arse cheeks/balls and me eyes crossed for this now :deadhorse:

You are looking at the off-side (driver's side for a RH drive vehicle, brake backplate for either the front or rear axle.
NOTE the adjuster cam always faces the front of the vehicle, same for both sides of the vehicle.
(note this is the early S2 backplate with the shoe steady posts)
