Probably. But I need more info. Can you post a video of what you are experiencing? Questions: 1. are both sides affected? if so, can it be old clogged rubber brake hoses? 2. the only movement you should see is about 3-4mm which is clearance between shoes and drum, you can see this at the 0:20 mark 3. the shoes are not supposed to move against the friction discs, expect under braking pressure
@@Cusinfarmer The automatic adjuster is supposed to hold the shoes and keep them from retracting. That is their job. They hold the shoes in place until some shoe lining is used, then under braking the adjuster allows the shoe to advance, then holds the shoe in place. The clearance between the shoe and drum is constant due to clearance between long pin and the fitting it sit inside of. Hope this makes sense. Did you see the first part of the vid? Go to 12:30 and see if that helps: th-cam.com/video/s20pLwIBNHM/w-d-xo.html

Really don't know how to post a video threw this form would you be willing to give me a call then I could text you a picture or video
Could the automatic adjuster be holding the shoes from retracting
Brake lines are all good they are all steel had good fluid movement. The adjusters are pretty rusted.
