Basic question on how much 'free spin' I should have on the front wheels. How much is enough? I ask because I am pretty sure that my rebuilt axles don't have enough. You can turn the wheels by hand, but just barely.
I've slackened the shoe adjusters. I just don't want to disassemble the hub if I can avoid it. But I don't think I can. I've tried to fix this once already and each time I tighten up the locknuts, it seems to overtighten the whole assembly. What am I missing here? Seems pretty basic.
BTW, this is a build up from scratch - new brake cylinders, seals, etc. Never been driven. So it's not the result of heat. (It's owner mechanical error)
