Can't fit rear brake in drum after fitting news brake shoes
Seabeowner:
Rear drum is 180mm dia. on 550. 390 is 550F part no. With the shoes centralised on the backplate, what is the diameter?
alexdecker:
I only took this before I assembled the wheel with the old brake shoes for now. Can you guys make anything of this image?
Nurse Julie:
That looks to have been relined but you're also trying to fit 750 shoes which won't fit your hub anyway Alex.
Edit... Have you got a photo of the brake plate.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Put your ruler across the drum does it look like an I/d of about 18 cms?
If the answer is yes then it's the wrong shoes.
alexdecker:
I only have this photo of the shoes mounted. The packaging per earlier said specifically they should fit a 550F. So either Vesrah wrongly packaged 750 shoes in a 550 packaging or something else is amiss. But the shoes really are quite a bit longer than the other ones.
