This is actually for my other vehicle, a (coughs imbarassedly) Chevy S10 Blazer.It's the wifes car really. Anyway, this past summer I replaced the brake shoes and springs. The cylinders looked fine and the drum was great. Anyhoo, now that the roads are icy I've noticed that the back tires still spin when appling the brakes so they actually still push if we're on ice...NOT GOOD. I seem to remember that where the parking brake attaches, it looks like it turns the shoe spreader thingy thus always adjusting the shoes as the get worn. Is this correct? I think that the shoes are just not tight enough to the drum because there is no leakage and both wheels do it. If the emergency brake does adjust the tension, can I just apply the brake a bunch of times till it gets tight? I don't usually use the parking brake so if that is how the system work it wouldn't. Thanks guys!
