Hello all, 

Still working on brakes on my TF. Fronts are done and new master cylinder
works fine. 

But when I put the rears back together and put the hubs back on I find that
I have a rub when I rotate the rear hub on the left side. Taking the drum
off again I see a scratch mark where the retaining spring is rubbing
against the drum. 

While I replaced the shoes and wheel cylinder I did not replace these
parts. It almost is like the retaining pin is too long. But it was OK
before so (?) I shimmed the retaining pin from behind with a flat washer
and that helped but still a little rub. I'll shim with a thicker washer but
I still wonder what I might have changed to cause this. 

Any suggestions?
