I spent a leisurely day yesterday installing my 8 1/4" rear end. My problem is such; I installed 10" x 2 1/2" rear drums and shoes, new flex line, new hard line (from flex to cylinder), new springs and the new, smaller cylinders recommended by SSD in another post. I bled the lines (although I'm going to do it again today to make sure) and installed the wheels. The adjusters are "all the way in", that is to say at the minimum possible adjustment, but I can still feel the brakes dragging when I rotate the wheel by hand. The drive shaft is not connected as it is in the shop being shortened, so it can't be drag from further up the driveline. The drums/shoes have not yet been "bedded in" as I can't drive the car until there's something connecting the tranny to the diff. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Will this drag (very slight, mind you) go away once I break the brakes in (that's fun to say. "Break the brakes"
)Thanks in advance,
Nat
