I couldn't get my rotors on no matter what I did at first. I ended up filing a tiny bit off the steel part of the new shoes where they fit into the rigid spacer. I know that's a bit vague. What you're doing is making the diameter of the circle that the shoes form a tiny bit smaller. That's the only way I could get mine together. They work great. Oh, at first they didn't seem to work that well. Then after a couple of months, they began to work better. I'm thinking that they needed a little time to seat better in their drums.
