The year, make and model would help but in most cases you can manually move the adjuster before you slide the drum on. Do this until the drum fits snug but not tight. The automatic adjusters will finish the adjustment as you drive.

Why can't you get your drum to go back on after replacing rear shoes on your 98 Mazda 626?

The replacement shoes should be significantly larger than the warn units removed. The automatic adjuster has turned the star wheel adjuster open to compensate for that wear. Turn the star wheel closed and install between the shoes and the drum should go on. You will also need to adjust the brakes using a brake spoon through the hole on the rear of the backing plate after the drum is replaced.


How do you adjust the BA falcon handbrake rear wheel adjustment not the cable adjuster under the car?

make sure the cable adjustment is all the way off before you adjust the shoes which are inboard the rear rotor, there are specs for these but if you remove the tin cover at the rear of the shoe adjuster you can then poke a screwdriver or small brake adjuster in there an adjust till you cannot move the wheel, that will centre the h/brake shoes then back the adjuster off till the wheel spins free, then re/adjust your cable last ,,if you adjust your cable first you will only be adjusting one shoe not both ,,hope this does the job,, mick
