just replaced the brake shoes on my 1.2 and put new drums on.
ive tightened up the castle nut but the brake drum still moves about alot.
surely it shouldnt move that much cos the wheel is connected to the drum and it will be all over the place.

ive done the castle nut up real tight but it wasnt as tight as that before. dont want to keep it that tight as it will wear the bearings out. am i missing something.

all parts went back in and theres no clips or bolts left over

this is joes mate btw. using his profile.

ive worked out what it is now.
the outer shell of the old bearing was still in the old drum and i fitted the new drum without the outer casing of the bearing. now the bearing is stuck on and i cant get it off. lol

bloody cars. or i should blame it on myself but im not going to. lol
