That's a good point Eric. If the car has been sitting for a LONG time,
the metal under the shoe lining will rust and the rust will expand the
linings out into the drums. You will know when this happens. Don't pry
off the drums with pry bars immediately, but instead back off as much of
the adjuster as you can and then try removing them. I have seen this
happen on just about every car that Ian and I have bought.

PS: And never use those brake shoes ever again, but don't throw them
away! If you want, mail them to Doug Jennings because he saves them for
cores and has them relined.
