& this is with you hand turning the wheel backwards/no pedal input correct? that makes me think something is fubared with the assy on the backing plate: loose holddown springs/brake nails wrong ones (too long) sumpin ain't kosher cuz it (something) is too loose or too big or too small or installed wrong. we'll get it! (might take us awhile). when you turn backwards it is shifting something that should be secure.


Wheels turned by hand and no pedal input at all..I also think that the shoes are moving or something like that. Hardware is all new and before installing compared with the old stuff, and all is the same.
Backingplate is clean and shoes move free...
Bottom spring allready placed more horizontal to create more tension.
Left the top springs open for a while to make it more easy to remove them everytime... I think I disambled the shoes more then 10 times to check everything. With the drums off and a helper pushing brakepedal I see the shoes work fine, out and retracted by the springs..
