I have a problem with my hand brake shoes. One of them is quite tight with a spring holding it close to the axle side. But the other is flopping about. The spring on that one is very loose, mostly I think because the pin that goes through the spring and the shoe is a LOT longer (nearly half an inch longer) than the other one. I was thinking about replacing the shoes, because they appear to be fairly worn.
At the moment the shoes seem to lock the wheel, probably due to the one flopping around. What surprices me is that I never had any problems with it before.
Are there any kits for these pins and springs around? If so where can I get them?
Also, is there something I am overseeing? Is it possible that it is the tight shoe that is locking the wheel when spinning it in the driving direction?
