Just replaced both rear drums and shoes with new. The screw on the self adjusting bolt is all the way in offering no further adjustment; when the drum is turned by hand there is still noticeable drag between the drum and shoe. Is this normal for replacing the drum and shoe at the same time or is there a further adjustment to be made via the parking brake?
