Possible Driveshaft Gaitor Problem

Well it seems that was short lived, the offside rear drum which is the one I was having problems with, is still getting hot, but doesn't seem to be locked on like before. But if I go for a drive(short drive) the rear offside drum is pretty hot and the nearside drum is fairly cool.

Looks like i'm going back to the garage!

It has rotary adjusters, so either adjust or don't.

The sticking is down to lack of shoe movement, most likely due to rust. The shoes need stripping out, and the stand-offs polished and lubricated with copper grease. If the shoes can't move correctly, they can't adjust correctly. Like I said, the shoes need stripping, cleaning, re-lubrication and reassembly every year, if problems are to be avoided.

Its a job I "usually" do myself, this time 2 different garages, one with a great rep have had a go. I haven't done it myself due to have a jack that won't even get the tyres of the ground. Instead of paying for garages going to buy myself a suitable jack and do it myself I think.
