Hi all!
I've decided to change (alone) the rear brakes (drum + shoe) along with wheel bearing because the original drum had the bearing embedded.
My problems started when I notice that I cannot fit in the drum (diam 228mm) because the shoes assembly seems to be a bit larger than the drum diameter. I suspect that the brake cylinder is extended somehow. There is any way to compress the brake cylinder? I have set the adjusting mechanism to minimum but without success.
Another problem is the bearing itself, after fitting the spacer (from original bearing), bearing and a washer (from original bearing too) and finally the nut, the bearing won't turn! What am I doing wrong?
