Install the spring washer (3). The concave side of the spring washer should face the parking brake lever.
Install the pin (4).
Install the retaining ring (16).
Install the adjuster pin (12) in the shoe (15) so the pin projects 6.8 to 7.0 mm (0.268 to 0.276 inch) from the side of the shoe web where the adjuster actuator is installed.
Apply brake lubricant or equivalent to the threads of the adjuster screw (14) and inside diameter and face of the socket (7). Adequate lubrication is achieved when there is a continuous bead of lubricant at the open end of the adjuster nut (10) and the socket (7) when the threads are fully engaged.
Install the upper return spring (5).
Lay the shoes (1 and 15) on a clean, flat work surface in the position they will be in when installed on the backing plate.
Overlap the bottoms of the shoes so the upper shoe ends clear the wheel cylinder boots.
Make sure the upper shoe ends rest on the wheel cylinder piston ends.
Do not place the lower shoe web ends under the anchor plate until the lower return spring is installed.
NOTICE: Do not over-stretch the lower return spring. Damage can occur if it is stretched to more than 107.3 mm (4.22 inches) .
Install the lower return spring (6).
Bring the ends of the shoe and lining assemblies (1 and 15) together over the anchor plate.
Hook the spring ends to the shoe web holes.
Spread the lower ends of the shoe and the lining assemblies to clear the anchor plate.
Position the shoes against the backing plate and release them.
Pull the spring into the groove at the bottom of the anchor plate.
Connect the hold-down pins and the spring assemblies (8).
Install the adjuster actuator (11) over the end of the adjuster pin (12) so the top leg engages the notch in the adjuster screw. NOTICE: Do not over-stretch the actuator spring. Damage can occur if it is stretched to more than 83 mm (3.27 inches) .
Install the actuator spring (13). The free end of the adjuster actuator (11) must engage the notch of the adjuster nut.
Hello;
The parking brake cables may be stretched and in need of adjustment. Follow the cables along to a nut. Then you can tighten the adjusters up on both sides until you have the proper tension. Also make certain none of the brackets are bent or broken that the cables ride through.
Thanks;

the ajustment for the parking brake is under the truck climb under the truck
you will see a long bolt and both cables are hooked to it
with your brake off wind the screw in go in 1 inch at a time checking the
parking brake when you get to 3/4 of the pedal you have enuff
Well the first thing is to make sure the parking brake is off and that the front wheels are chocked (unless all wheels are off the ground). If the parking brake is on you will have a difficult time getting the drums off (if at all). Now, they could be rusted on but there should be two holes near about 1/4 inch in diameter about an inch from the edge, those are for you to screw bolts in to push the drum off. Find some suitable bolts at a hardware or autoparts store.
you must have a leak in your brakes! check your brake fluid! They may work for now but after all your brake fluid is pushed out they wont work. You better take a look underneath and get someone to press on the brakes to see where it is leaking out. You can keep toping up the brake fluid and that might get you by for a while.
