BUT I understand that you need to take it apart(it's new, right?) and see that the tips of the shoes are glazed, and the centers are not. This is due to someone not either grinding the shoes to the right shape, or manufacturing them that way. We used to "arc grind" our drum brake shoes, and you can do the same with a sanding drum (for instance) on a dremel, dress them, ride again, dress again if needed. I recently sold an auto that hooked up and ran very well.I however, still "smoke the belts" the old way.Mike</blockquote>
