Rear brake help

[ninja.turtle007]

My rear drum brakes were both seized on so I decided to bump them off in reverse.... Bad idea. Broke both wheel cylinders, bent brake shoes etc ect

So I have fitted new backing plates, shoes, wheel cylinder's, springs, clips etc. I re-used the old drums. I found that the brakes were pulsing, so I have now fitted new brake drums but it hasn't cured the problem.

Any ideas please?

hard to say without driving it, but have a look at the discs and pads

Thanks for the reply.

It's definately the rears. I can feel that something is not true when I turn the wheels. If I adjust the brakes until they rub they don't rub all the way round. The drums are Febi. Maybe they aren't true?

When I replaced the drums I had the same pulsing,after some miles it got better!!

when you fitted the new shoes did you back off the handbrake adjustment first, adjust the brakes, then adjust the handbrake ?

No, but have now done them this way. Brakes work really well but still judder.

Put a small chamfer on the leading edge of the brake linings [with a file].
