Drum brake refitment problem

[brads59]

Gday guys, im having a drama fitting my new drum brakes for my FC
I have had the drums machined, all the wheel cylinders re sleeved,new shoes bonded and new lines and master cylinder.
I have done 3 corners successfully but the rear passenger side is causing me grief.
I cant get the shoes to compress enough to fit drum on.
There is no fluid yet so its not that, the shoes wont lock into the slots on either side of the wheel cylinder,the rod with the spring on it wont let shoes close enough.
Any ideas.
Cheers
Brad

Just had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago.
It turned out that the rear park brake cable was seized and not releasing all the way.

Cheers Wayne ill download it anyway but ive just finished for the day out there.
The handbrake cable needs replacing and ive tried bleeding the new brakes up but only getting fluid to drivers front,so im taking all the hard lines out now and replacing them with new ones
Will it never end ho hum
