When I went to swap in the 3.73 rear, I popped a drum off to check the brake shoes. The springs looked clean, and the shoes were good, so I went with that, also because I couldn't get the other drum off. :-(
Well yesterday, when I pulled the wheels off to install the bigger coil springs, I figured I'd pop off the other drum.
Backed the star all the way off and still couldn't it off.
Three flat bars wedged in between the drum and the backing plate, and it finally popped off.
Good thing. I've never seen shoes so bad.
