Drum Brake Lower Spring hitting hub


Recommended Posts

 

 

For some reason, the lower spring on the driver side drum brake keeps hitting the hub as it spins. I put the spring so it's kinda sitting on the little metal plate above the wheel cylinderIMG_6844.HEIC, where it will not hit the hub, but it just keeps falling off. It'll stay there for a second, but when I hit it or put the drum back on it just pops off. This is how it was installed before I replaced the brakes, and it is the same on the other side. I did not have any issues with this before, nor with the other side. I've attached a video and some pictures of the problem. Anyone else had this issue, and if so, how do I fix it? I'm just about at my wits end with this.

update for anyone in the future who may have the same problem. The wheel cylinder was put in the wrong way by the previous owner. I attempted to reassemble the brakes how it came apart, but the way it was installed before was wrong. Putting in a new wheel cylinder in the correct orientation solved the problem.
