I have a 90 FJ62 and I'm have a heck of a time with my rear brakes.
I went through the procedure of loosening the tension on the brakes, but still had a hell of a time getting the drums off both brake assemblies. I disassembled my rear brakes and resprung them both with new hard wear and new pads.
After reassembling the brake pads and installing them I again had a really hard time getting the drums back on. All of the tension is off. I have opened the bleeder valve, pistons appear to be recessed and still had to tap them on. They are so tight the drums wont turn.
Before I go through the struggle of taking these drums off can anybody advise what the issue may be? Its the same on both sides. The hardware and pads are from Cruiser Outfitters so I am confident I have the proper parts.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
