[FC] pulling to the left when braking 3....

[Bruce Gwyther]

Jim,
    There are still a few things to try.  Be sure that the shoes are exactly 
the same (brand, materiel, lining length, etc) on either side.  Be sure they 
are assembled the same on each side (primary/secondary).  Then swap the 
shoes from side to side and check for any change and then the same for the 
drums.  Then if all else fails, (more work) even the cylinders.  Some where 
along the line you might find changing one thing that moves pulling to the 
other side and you have found the culprit or you might see the problem when 
doing the changes.   One more thing.  Check the bore size of the cylinders! 
It's  not unheard of to be sold two cylinders with different bore sizes even 
though they appear the same.   Hopes this helps a little.

Hi Dennis,

No, the shoes are clean, we were very carefull when
installing - I could have the drums turned again I
suppose? Had them turned in Feb. when I did all the
front brake work.
