Trailer Brakes Drum Problem Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Boat Maintenance Forum Discription: Discuss maintenance of your Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7576 Printed Date: January-18-2025 at 1:39am Topic: Trailer Brakes Drum Problem Posted By: photoguy Subject: Trailer Brakes Drum Problem Date Posted: July-18-2007 at 11:45pm I am putting new shoes on my trailer (2000 Metal Craft) I put the new shoes on… drum will not go back on… the adjustment is all the way closed I had the drum turned today it helped but will still only go ¾ of the way on. I picked up the shoes at the local auto parts store they are identical looking to the ones I pulled… is there a trailer specific shoe with a thinner surface? I can turn the drum some more but it is still going to rub I would think… what do you think guys? Thanks Steve Replies: Posted By: Randy_in_Ohio Date Posted: July-19-2007 at 2:40am Replace the entire brake assembly. You can pick one up at a trailer shop for about $60. a lot less headache in the long run... Or you could replace the drums with a disk system for a little more $$ This is what I wish I had done to start with. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1602&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 1993 Sport Nautique Posted By: photoguy Date Posted: July-19-2007 at 2:28pm Thanks for the help guys! I pulled the other shoes out of the box and realized one of the one’s I put on was way to thick they must have screwed up when they manufactured it… good ol Mexico! Steve
