Today I was replacing shoes, springs and drums on both rear sides of my 04 taurus. I couldnt loosen the self adjustment on either side so I ended up prying off drums since i was replacing everything anyways. 1st side came off fairly easy. Second side not so much. It was pretty tight to begin with but after a while i ended up getting it off. Replaced everything then when I went to put on drum I couldnt fit it over the new shoes. I turned the self adjuster all the way in and even bled cylinder of fluiid. Still couldnt put it on. ended up just beatin it on with a hammer since I was at the shop and had to get home. It was tight even to where I had to put a little muscle to get the wheel to spin even while it was in the air. but not tight even to where it had any noticable effect while driving. But when I got home the drum was hot as s**t. I know this side will wear prematurely but will it just wear the until it is normal looseness or will it stay tight like this until it gets fixed. I wont be able to get it into a shop for a couple days. Is it ok to drive once or twice untill then? any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for help in advance
