One shoe keeps kicking inward and binding on the drum…input appreciated.

Bad springs?

 

[davidwyby]

It’s kicking in and dragging against the back side of the drum, not the ID

The springs should have little "ears" to hold the shoes still. If they're not lined up or if the ears are busted off then that could cause your problem.

Yeah, did it a while back and I took it all apart and inspected and cleaned it put it back together and it’s been OK for a while and then it just did it again yesterday. Going to take it apart again tonight and see if I can figure out what’s up. I’m going to switch the shoes around and see if that does anything.

Is there a washer missing? Like not holding the edge of the drum far enough away from the clutch.

 

[pbillyi69]

is the stud the shoe sits on worn or uneven in wear or mayne the shoe itself?

 

[davidwyby]

I didn’t notice anything last time…didn’t get to it last night, tried to go saw today but the wind is terrible…so I’ll go out to my saw shop in a bit and inspect again.

 

[davidwyby]

Wasn’t there someone here who had the same saw or similar that was eating clutches?

I've stolen a shim washer from another one to get some clearance, even if it didn't originally have one.

I thought about it and still might, but it might put the shoes a little proud of the drum.
