What's to stop the shoes from adjusting TOO much when you use the e-brake???
Cause that's exactly what happened to mine...
I've been noticing more rolling resistance this past week and that even on a downhill slope, it wouldn't roll from a stop.
So I just jacked up the rear and could BARELY even turn the tires.

I replaced the shoes and all the hardware a few months ago.
At first I had the adjusting rods on the wrong sides (so that the e-brake would adjust them in), but I figured that one out pretty quick and switched them (so the e-brake adjusts them out).

Any ideas??

bogus shoes?
cylinder/s sticking?

I can't think of any reason that shoes or cylinder themselves would cause any problems.
And would the adjustment of the e-brake actually make a difference?
It seems to me that unless the e-brake was too loose to do its job, then it would still be turning the adjusting rods with every cycle...

Oh and to clarify, it's both sides that have tightened up.
