Rear Drum Brake Problems

303 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Ed Reynolds
I've installed my rear axle, and now I'm rebuilding my rear drum brakes. I've gotten all new hardware, but I've run into a problem. When I try to insert the hold down pins, they don't grab. Aren't the holes supposed to be oval? Mine appear to be round. Any solutions other than new backing plates? Am I screwed? (Seem to be saying that a lot lately...hmmm)

Wow, what an idiot! I took them apart a few months ago, and forgot how they went! I was trying to push them from the front, turning them to lock in the backing plate! You saved me again guys! Thanks.
