I don't know what ERROR: forum not selected means, but dammit it keeps happening and wiping out all the text I type! and of course, I forget to copy it before I hit submit!!!!

long story short.

did driver's side. springs good except the one holding adjuster was on the top....moved to bottom of adjuster. removed passenger's side to look again...spring were actually flipped on the yellow/silver. springs all good on both sides now.

driver's side had to pry drum off too. secondary shoe will only contact drum in the center of shoe. .010 gauge is useless at top and bottom even after adjusting eccentrics. only in the center will it gauge a gap with .010. any ideas on this guys. pretty sure its a bad shoe from being adjust badly and wearing the top and bottom of shoe prematurely.

adjusted best I could by center or secondary shoe. drove. no lockup until half pedal push. before was 1/4 pedal and lock up.

will check rears soon.

any idea where to get new shoes. I know Kanter, but are they so obsolete that they don't cross over at a local parts store. I see lots of re-shoe kits, but I don't want to mess with that.
