1966 C20 Rear Brake Dragging

Hi All,

I've been searching all day and haven't quite been able to locate the same problem.

66 C20 with an Eaton diff.

Changed a leaking wheel cylinder with a new one on the passenger side rear.

Adjusted the brakes with the drum off and it was a snug fit back on but didn't feel too tight.

Problem is that after a test drive it is dragging. If I jack up the rear I can spin the wheel backwards very easily but not forwards without a lot of trouble. If I jam the brakes on I can't spin the wheel at all. Of note is that the handbrake works really well on the drivers side but barely on the passenger. I have a new handbrake cable.

I don't remember anything coming out when I changed the wheel cylinder other than moving the shoes to the one side. I am wondering if it is the self adjuster or perhaps is it possible to put the hub bearing retaining nuts on too tight?

Any ideas of what I can do to test would be great.

Cheers in advance.
