Hi All!

With the alignment issue now sorted, I'm faced with a new problem. When taking my first test drive, everything was okay for a block or so and the first time I hit the brakes. The second time I hit the brakes, I started to hear a scraping sound coming from the drum.

I pulled it off to investigate, and found that one of the shoes had jumped up and wasn't sitting secure. Here's a photo:



I put the shoes back down to where they normally would be and patched it all back up, but the exact same thing happened the next time I took it for a spin. After popping the drum off, I can see that the shoes have again "jumped up".

I've never had this happen before, and I'm not sure how to keep this from happening. Maybe replacing the hardware? I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks all!
