65 Bonneville front brake problem
I'm helping a friend with his '65 Bonneville front brakes.
He had someone else replace the front shoes and turn the drums. This job soon failed as the right front brake was dragging and overheated the drum so much that it burned the paint off the outside. The left side was just fine. That's where I was called in. I re-did the brake job and had the drums turned again. He called me a few days later complaining about a "clucking" sound in the right front brake only when braking. I pulled the drums again and noticed that whoever turned them didn't go deep enough and left a 1/4 in ridge on the inner surface of the drum. We turned the drums again. The shoes apparently were wearing in properly otherwise. At least the overheating had been solved, but the same cluck cluck cluck noise is still present. Any ideas?
