Just finished the install of the new brakes and sure seal on the left side of my "46 2n and I have a big problem which I should have thought about before putting everything back together. Here"s the deal.
When I tried to re-install the brake plate inside the drum, it was an extremely snug fit. So snug, I needed to use a 2x4 with hammer to push everything back together. The brake adjustment bolt was turned as far as I could get it to go counter clockwise but it was still very tight.
With the wheels and brakes reinstalled, the left brake pedal doesn"t depress at all and the left wheel does not want to move. I got it going by holding the right brake lever down but even after a quarter mile drive, the left brakes are snug.
Ideas?
