Who can answer my car brakes repair dilemma?

Sep 15, 2010 by yari827 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

96 Chevy S-10 Blazer, 4.3L. I installed new rear brake drums and shoes. Test drove. Left drum hot to touch. Right side A-OK. Left side, interference. Brake shoe adjustment screw at minimum. Will the shoes wear in, or should I be concerned about

the adjuster on the left side is not at it's minimum setting or you have the wrong hardware for the brake shoe assembly.

If it's the correct hardware the adjuster can be set so that the drum doesn't make contact with the shoe at it's MINIMUM
