Hello Everyone:
I'm confused. The problem brake is on the front right. I don't see any
difference in the shoes, they look identical to my eyes. Are there supposed to
be markings designating 'primary' and 'secondary'? Also the linings (pads?)
face either up or down. I don't understand 'facing towards the front of the
car'. BTW, these shoes are NOS.
Also BTW, I used a drum puller I just bought from JC Whitney. Boy that really
beats pounding the drum off with a mallet! The puller is worth it's weight in
gold.

Hello Bob,
I think Dave has probably diagnosed the problem correctly. Pull the drums
and confirm that each side has one primary and one secondary shoe. The primary
is always the one with the smaller pad, and should face towards the front of
the car.

Bob,
As I recall, I had the same kind of a problem on our TD many years ago
and it turned out that I had the shoes in backward. Worth a check.
Good luck,
Dave
