I could see a shiny spot on the inside of the rotor and on the parking brake shoe. It seemed that that the rotor was hitting the shoe at a point in its rotation. I fiddled with the shoe to make it more axle-centric. I also made sure that the rotor backing plate which is only a year old was not hitting anything and checked that its tabs were bent in properly.
To test my work, I put the caliper back on the hub, and with the truck in neutral, rotated the hub. At one point in the rotation, I am getting a metallic ping. I can't figure out what this is by inspection. Any ideas?
Also, does anyone make an updated brake shoe that attaches in 2 rather than 1 place? This design is so lame.

remove the brake pads/clips . lock down the rotor with 2 studs , and rotate the axle. the clips installed wrong bent not seated can make this noise..clips scrape on rotor..
the shoe is one piece, rotate to install. if the inner park brake drum is clean bright metal the park brake shoes are dragging ..make sure the shoe clip locks down those shoes..with the shoes flopping around you will get rapid park brake failure.
