Re: Need help with rear drum brakes on my 95 escort

Welcome to AF!!

First, did you have the drums turned? If not there us usually and edge on the outside edge of the drum that prohibits the new shoes from going on. If you had them turned you will need to adjust the screw down as far as possible. If that doesn't work then you will need to open the bleeder valve and totally compress the brake cylinder. Put the drum on and bleed the brakes. That should work!
