On today's episode of what now you needy pig.....
I replaced the entire brake system on Diego a few weeks ago and then a front caliper seized. Fixed that and now I just had a rear brake lock up....
Everything looks perfectly fine. Any ideas? Maybe I just had them slightly too tight but it's been a while without issues???
Has anyone had automatic adjusters OVERTIGHTEN the shoes?
Pictures attached. I don't see anything wrong except for maybe excessive brake dust.
I cleaned everything off with brake cleaner and reassembled. Parking brake is completely released and I don't use it anyway on this truck so it's not like it stuck. I'm stumped with this one. I'm not certain but they might have been smoking last night when I got home, could have just been exhaust I was seeing though.
Left them overnight and they were still locked up. I had to loosen the adjuster to pull the new drum off.
