Have been working on my TR250, purchased this Spring , which I have not been
able to drive much this summer do to various problems. Took it out for a drive
and noticed a burning smell that turned out to be coming from a rear wheel.
Dismantled rear brake and lo and behold, was missing one of the tappets in the
brake adjuster. Replaced the tappet and decided to put new shoes on while it
was apart. After wrestling it back together, cannot get the drum back on. Have
made sure that the tappets are all the way in, e-brake not on, has new
springs, shoes seated in the slots on cylinder and adjuster, and have matched
the old and new shoes and look to be same length ( obviously more asbestos).
Any ideas what the problem can be?
