Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Folks,
I've developed a problem that I thought was a simple one... . However I seem to be stumped.
After pulling my 8 to 9K TT about 200 miles, I noticed a grinding noise coming from the right rear when I stepped on the brakes. The noise is EXACTLY what you'd hear when the brake shoes are shot and is grinding into the drum.
So, I picked up a new set of shoes and set about changing the rear brakes. I ran into a real problem because I could not get the drums to break free of the axle. Running out of time, I took my truck to a shop and told them the change the brakes. Well, they did, but the noise is still there. On top of that, the old shoes didn't need to be changed in the first place, but they (shop) did what I had told them to do... .
Now after putting about 50 miles on the truck, the noise is worse. My stopping power seems to be less, and with new shoes I have no idea what could be causing this problem.
Has this happened to anyone? Or does anyone have a suggestion?
