i had my drum brakes apart the other day because i was replacing the wheel cylinders.
anyway, the cover on the right (rear obviously) was a complete bitch to take off. we eventually got it off, took out the wheel cylinders put back in the newy's... and once i had everthing all back together properly i put the covers back on. The left one went fine, but the right one felt like it was gonna be as much of a pain to put on as it was to take off.
From what ive gathered, the part that pushes out inside the drum assembly is stuck. so its too far out for the cover to go back on
I eventuall got it on, but now the car moves like like its got the hand brake up about half way (not too surprising...).
what really confuses me is why the cover was so hard to take off the first time, as it was acting the same before hand but the car was able to move.
but mainly my question is, had anyone had this problem before? or do you know how to fix it? if i cant figure this out ill probly have to go buy another set of drums from a wreckers to fit the car
also, to add pain to this, the freakin wheel cylinder on the left side squirts out brake fluid whenever i pump the brake pedal.
if anyone can help me with some info it would be greately appreciated, as its about the only thing stopping me from going and registering my car now http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/angry.gif
