Today I installed new front pads and had the rotors turned. I also had the drums turned and installed new shoes and wheel cylinders. While I was there, I put on YJ e-brake cables. The drums needed to be at their loosest setting for the drum to slide over the shoes. When I hooked up the e-brake cables and tightened them, the e-brake doesn't hold. Also...the brakes, in general, suck. I have 31" tires and I can't lock them up at all. I have a 96 w/o ABS. Brakes have been bled and I have good pedal. Tomorrow morning I am going to check and make sure the shoes are situated properly in the drums. I may have installed the short shoes in the wrong direction. Just out of curiosity, who has larger than stock tires w/o ABS and has better brakes?
