Have you tried just slackening off the brakes to get the drum spinning? I guess you did put the shoes back together correctly?

here are some pictures of your rear brakes and how they should look.

yep they are back correct but the brake adjusters aint all that .
im gettin bored with that other post.
if it were my truck 1 i would not leave it there that long.
2 i would cut my losses and go and get my truck back.
if parts had been removed i would first ask for them back within 10 mins
or the value of them.
if no joy on the parts bye the time i had loaded the truck
a very rapid and aggressive beating would follow.
how fuckin hard can it be????????

Did you get the drum off again?

i will wait till i got the wheel cylinder back before i take the other side back off greg.
but yes they are stuck like bastards so easyer to move um with the drum off
rather than piss about through the little hole on the back plate.
its a bit like gettin your dick out of the leg of a pair of speedo swimming shorts.
hows that for a good discripsion.
or sucking a golf ball through 5 meter of hose pipe.

 Yes clive, the size I sent you, unless the vehicle had an ax8 or ax9 axle then it would need the bigger sort.
It is the size not shape that matters as you have seen both types, the black rubber finished ones and the metal skinny ones with a green tinge.

Why, whats the problem now?

its just that it only sits on a quater inch ridge the shaft is stepped from back plate you have say 2 inch then steps down to quater inch then down again were the bearing sits weird i would of thought it would of sat on the 2 inches up against the back plate.
the hub dont go back as far as it used to cos the metal hub seal case wont let it.

What's the chassis number of your vehicle, i can find out the axle from that, though you will have 4 inch shoes and an ax6 axle of that I am pretty sure, only other thing is that you have a vehicle with an ax8 axle from an s66 fitted, with 4 inch brakes.
That seal I sent you, did you measure it against the stub axle?
I honsetly can't tell you the exact measurements to where the seal should sit on the stub axle as I dont have anything to check against.

The pic below is of an ax8 which had 5.5 inch axles and you can see the difference between where the seal sits on yours and that one, so have you got both sides apart, or at least the drum off the other side to compare too?

The only other thing i can think of is that you have 3 inch width brake shoes and have an older ax6 axle fitted, though it is only the brakes that are different.

Might need you to post some pics up Clive.
