Re: Re-installing rear brake drums

Maybe the brake backing plate is slightly bent, or not seated fully on the axle tube. That would hold the shoes slightly out of alignment with the drum, and could cause the light interference you're getting.

Do you have the problem on both rear brakes, or only on one side?

The brake drum needs to be straight and it needs to fit tightly and evenly against the axle flange.
