Rear brake shoes not fitting
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2016 10:25 am
Good Day,
I've got a servetta engine
Servetta cam with the angled head
Servetta Hub
Front is also servetta
I bought two sets of BGM 7870 Li brake shoes. Installed one on the front. Works great. Installed the second on the rear. Doesn't fit. The hub locks up immediately upon mounting the hub onto the mainshaft.
I switched the brake shoes. Put the front ones on the back and back to the front. Same story. Front works great. Rear locks up.
Could there be something beyond brake shoes that I'm overlooking?
Another part to this is the double wavy washer that goes onto the brake shoes before the circlips. It's a bugger to get on. I'm finding myself smashing it on with a flathead screwdriver while trying to put the circlips back into place. So maybe these BgM brake shoes are just too large in a more ways than one? Or there's another issue? Could it be doing this if the hub is warped?
Cheers and thanks for all the opinions!
