Another tip Steve in assessing the state of the drum bearings and its ability to spin , and before attempting to decide whether fitting clutch shoes is a cure all. Release the brake solenoid spring then rotate the drum by hand in the spin direction. Then engage the brake lever in order to stop the drum. The drum should rebound back an inch or three depending on how fast you rotated the drum. If you don’t witness any rebound then the drum shaft/drum support has issues and new clutch shoes won’t secure a lasting fix.
Remember to reattach that brake arm return spring! 8)
Did the rotate back and latch test and the drum was free to turn but latched on rebound as it should. (remembered that from wayyyy back) just received the clutch from Qualtex today so looks like it’s a goodun’.
This thread is like talking to Uncle Albert – “During the War…….” :rotfl:
