I found that when you put new soes on if you dont turn the drums to ruff sand the shoes to fit and then dont hit hand brake while rollig backward suddenly or this will actuate the aouto adjuster I may go back and eliminate the auto adjusters cause iIuse the hand brake a lot on hill take offs, like dsle john said let the road do your brakeing drive for every one way up in front of you,and the brakes will stay clean and free rolling
My dad had made some spring steel clips for a 81 starlet mod back in 89 or so and he would roll up to a light and time it to where gravity did the work and finish it with the hand brake, Oh try pushing a car that has sticky calipers a mile, I think disk brake drag cost as much as day time electrical recharge,if not more, If the speed limits were still 55 I would have four wheel drums on my crx hf, but for pulling a tree chipper and load of mulch, I am glad my mitz fuso has dual front calipers when you need them is when they pay you back for the drag
