I changed my rear axle seal a couple of days ago. Now the pass. rear brakes stick. I have taken off the drum and sprayed it with brake clean as there was a bit of oil on the pads. Works great for the 1st bit then the brakes stick.

Any suggestions what to do? Get new pads?

anyone?

 

You may need to adjust the rear drums. I did it this weekend because my rear brakes were not grabbing. Just put the drum on and turn the adjuster wheel (via the little port on the inside) until you get a little big of drag on the drum, then back it off 12 clicks ( the drum will move freely). Make sure to check that your E-brake cable lever inside the the drum is not sticking, and that the return springs for the shoes are working too. Put the wheels back on and drive the car in reverse and brake a couple of times. I did it about 5-ten times while going in reverse and the self adjusters should take care of the rest.
