Do I need to disconnect the parking brake when changing the shoes? I can't get the drum back over the new shoes. And I'm having a hard time getting the return springs on because the parking brake lever and the trailing shoe are pushing the alignment plate out too far on the anchor pin.
Does the parking break link/strut/flat thing with the notches on both side, go over the trailing shoe and parking brake lever? I can't get both the shoe and lever in the notch.
On my 93 when I removed the shoes a spring fell out and I can't figure out where it went. It's smaller then the return springs and looks like what goes on the star adjuster lever in the pictures I found but, It only has a hook on one side and the other side goes strait out. I can't figure out how it would hook on to the adjuster lever. And also my adjuster lever has a spring on it that wraps around the pin that I pressed into the new shoe. Do they get two springs?
I've read Go jeeps write up and searched but this is my first time messing with drum brakes and now I understand why so many people hate them. Thank you for reading this and if you can help me out thank you even more. My jeep is a tripod right now until I can figure out what the heck I'm doing.
