Re: IML: 61 Imperial brake drum removal challenge

[fanbladeus@xxxxxxxxxx]

I haven't read through all these emails but I too have had issues with this 
on my rear drums.  

One thing that I don't know if its been mentioned yet but be sure to adjust 
your shoes in a bit.  On mine the lobe can spin all the way back around so 
turning it all the way in the oposite direction did not bring the shoes back 
in all the way.  I had to turn them about halfway between the two positions.  
Oh and I believe the adjusters on the backs need to be turned in opposite 
directions.

Good luck I'm sure you'll get it
