I cant get the brake hub to fit back in after I replaced the wheel cylinder. Someone had told me to get a c clamp and compress the wheel cylinder so that itll fit is that true?

Hi there,

Have you backed off the hand brake adjustment? And is the shoe adjustment also backed off? Do this and the drum should fit easily, then do the main adjustment then the hand brake adjustment.
