hi all

I was wondering whether or not my rear drums should have a hole in them for adjusting the shoes?

I need to do this and it dont make sense to pull the drum off the shoes adjust then somehow get the drum back on to test?

Would it be a stupid idea to mill a hole in them ?

The adjustment is on the backplate of the drum at the 12 O'clock position.

its funny the crap you learn when you know nothing


that's how I was adjusting them I would pull the drum off and turn the cam thing and then put the drum back on........


And would you believe I once put the crank in back to front?
