Hello Guys,

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 rolling down the highway in flames? If anyone having any suggestion please share with us.

Thanks
George Brown

@GeorgeBrown,
I can't identify the problem with the adjustor screw at minimum, but I would worry enough to bite the bullet and get professional help. If they are rubbing, they could generate enough heat to damage either drums or bearings.

Is there any possible way there could be parking brake cable tension that's only affecting one side. Or possibly something is preventing the wheel cylinder from retracting after being applied. These are just improbable guesses, but I don't think I've heard of the situation before.
