OK Here's what happened. First time doing my own drum brakes - lack of experience - well I've got some now.

Apparently the adjuster screw was not extended enough - and subsequently fell out of the drum brake set up after I put the drum back on and drove the vehicle.

I backed the adjuster screw out some - put the drum back on, then the wheel , drove it and seems like its good.

Still need to bleed a little bit but so much better than before.

Thanks again forum.


....Now to bleed the power steering fluid out... and change it --it's as black as the night.

Thanks again Forum!!
