    98 Escort drum brake install problem

    98 Escort 4 door sedan.
    Installed new shoes on grandsons 98 Escort and can't figure out how to adjust shoes inward so I can install new drum. There does not seem to be any way to adjust shoes. Help please.

    Welcome to Club Protege.

    Are you sure you got the right drums and shoes, and are you sure you have everything installed properly?

    If so, try shifting the shoes around. Sometimes if they aren't aligned prefectly, they won't allow the drum over them.

    If you still can't get the drums on, back off the adjuster screw for the ebrake.

      back the adjuster screw all the way off. and there is an adjuster same setup as every other drum brake. on the top under the wheel cylinder.
