I recently changed the brake shoe for my mazda protege 2000.
After changing the brake shoes now brake looks good.
but one problem remains the same: sometime when starting from the rest,
i feel like my car has stuck somewhere and when i press the accelerator hard,
it suddenly get free with a slight jerk.
It looks like that brakes are sticking with the drums.
Any reason why this is happening? Do i need to get my drums resurfaced ?
One more point: When i am moving in reverse gear and apply parking brakes 2-3 times, i feel like car car is running more freely
without any drag, but once i apply foot brake while moving forward 2-3 times, i again starts feeling that
something is giving resistence to it.
I applied high temperature grease to all specified points inclusing backing plate, parking brake cable and
self adjuster (protege has a different type of adjuster, which is not a star wheel type).
If anyone requires a snapshop of my car's braking system, pls let me know.
Brakes are sticking with the drums.?
Im not familiar with that car but here`s a few things to look at. 1. If your adjuster is all the way in and your still having difficulty getting the drum on you have a problem right there. They may have given you the wrong shoes, check that linings are the same lenght as the old ones if you still have them.2. Also if the linings are of two different lenghts the long one goes to the rear. 3. If you run your finger over the friction surface of the drum and catch a lip on the outside edge, you probably have to replace the drum because the shoes are going out to far causing binding. Turning the drum will only make this condition worse. 4. %26quot;If%26quot; it has a rubber line on the rear these sometimes deteriate and collapse on the inside not allowing the pressure to be released when you let off the brakes.4. Some cars have a large proportioning valve around or under the master cylinder which causes the same problem. Hope this helps. I`ve had all these happen to me. Good Luck.

LETS SEE A PIC THERE MAY BE A LEADING AND A TRAILING SHOE ALSO A PARKING BRAKE CABLE sticking sorry bout the caps
I would venture to say that you need new wheel cylinders on the back as one or both are sticking.
Did you adjust your new shoes to the drum? If your shoes are not properly adjusted to you drums the shoes maybe to close to the drum and cause it to stick.
this might be ur transmission or u might have to change ur brakes and rotors again or u could just go back to where u change them ask them to check if the brakes are working properly and tell them that the car does not stop in time sometimes
BRAKE SHOES SWAPPED FRONT TO REAR.LONG ONE GOES TO REAR.
