Hello all

I’m in the middle of a brake job and I’ve run into a problem I can’t solve. I changed my parking brake shoes, and now the rotor/drum won’t fit back over the shoes! The books say what to do for the type with a screw to adjust how far apart the shoes are, but I couldn’t figure out what to do for my type where the shoes are held apart by a solid metal piece. I did loosen up the cable from the center console adjuster as much as possible and that’s still not enough. Does anyone know if you can replace the solid metal piece with the star gear/ adjustable spreader piece? And if so, where do you get a couple of those? I’ve never seen an adjustable one, so I don’t know if it’s different enough that the parts aren’t interchangeable. If a retrofit isn’t possible, what are my other options? I never thought about this a being a problem, but it seems like it must be something others have encountered. Thanks everyone!!
