Brakes arent very good.

[Tom]

Figured this deserved a thread really. Basically my brakes are rubbish. Fronts work rears not so much. This is Darren worked out based on the if you pull the handbrake up they work. So today i took them apart cleaned and greased everything adjusted them up roughly with the drum on and off then put it on and tightened the wheel bearing then done a final adjustment through a wheel bolt hole. Hand brake is a bit better foot brake still shit. There was plenty of meat on the shoes and the drum i stupidly didnt measure before i put it back. Im trying to upload a picture at the moment but photobucket is being a massive lady garden. Brain storm whats going wrong...



Now are those pads on the right way? I just got out the shower and looked at that again and i swear they're on wrong...
