First, have a floating axle I took out so I could take my drum off, don’t plan on redoing any bearings, should I shove grease into any parts of the axle hub before putting it back?
Second, I can’t figure out how to get the spring on the replacement self adjuster I bought. It’s a really tight spring and there has to be a trick to it. Part of the problem is the small metal piece that goes on the back of the adjuster plate and hooks the spring is really hard to keep under tension as it flops around. I do have drum brake tools but how they might help with this I don’t know.
