[QUOTE="RePhil, post: 552345, member: 14491"] Hi, I take it you have the drum off when you are doing this. When you operate the brakes the fluid pressure will push out the piston with the least friction. The other will stay still. When the drum is in place this also happens but as soon as the shoe reaches the drum it will stop & the second piston, & shoe, will operate. If you want you could try & hold one piston back & you should see the other move when operated. Refit the drum, adjust the adjusters correctly & then the brakes can be bled & should operate correctly. I hope this helps, Phil. [/QUOTE]
