Hi, Just fitted new Drums and brake shoes to the rear of my 1981 series 3 SWB. Put the brake springs back in the same place they came off but when I put the drums on the wheels wont turn.
The bottom springs are ok but I am not sure about the top spring which goes from Spring post on one shoe to the spring post on the backing plate.This leaves the other shoe loose at the top and not pushing the cylinder back in.Should the top spring fit between the top of both shoes not just one?
