datzenmike Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 My '73 FSM (factory service manual) diagram shows the washer and pin to the inside and the pin on the outside facing in. Also did you have both sides off??? You might have the sides switched. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 are you sure it's not the cylinder holding the shoe out too far? You might crack open the bleeder valve and squeeze the shoes in....looks like there's a gap between the spreader bar and the shoe. Quote Link to comment
