Mechanic needs Help from other Mechanic about some brakes on a 1993 nissan maxima?

ok, yesterday , i changed out the rear brakes , i had the drums turned, and installed new brake shoes into the car, but i am still getting the same grinding squeaking noise from the rear brakes, do i need to replace the drums?? i replaced those drums 5 years ago when the car was mine and i put brand new drums at the time , and now it belongs to my best friend and i did the brakes for him yesterday, but ive never had this issue with any car.

I would remove the rear drums and back off the adjustment on the emergency brake cables and make sure the emergency brake cables are not hanging up. If they are not hanging up, lightly sand the shoes off including the outer edges, install the rear drums, adjust the brakes, then adjust the emergency cable last.



Another problem could be that your return springs are weak and need to be replaced, if they are weak then they will not pull the shoes all the way back.

also sometimes when and if you get cheap parts the thickness of the shoes can be different make sure they are not and all return springs are in working order .. there may also be another problem? bearings? sorry not much help.
