Jhype,

Thanks for the update. I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Did you confirm the lever is adjusted correctly with the eccentric bolt as per the manual?

2. Can you confirm that you have the correct wheel cylinders on the rear backing plates?

It appears to be a lot of adjustment (too much) on the rear shoe. I don't know if it's possible to install the front wheel cylinders on the rear and vice versa, but I do know they are different part numbers. Rear bore size is 1 3/16" and front bore size is 1 1/4". Maybe just the incorrect rear wheel cylinders? Just a thought, since all the other components appear to be correct. Refer to my first post/picture in this thread. There's a notable difference. With that much adjustment on the rear shoe, the lever will never be able to properly engage the extension to activate the front shoe (PB).
