The nominee for dumb ass of the year is....Me!! So, I take the axles out, remove brake plates, lay them out in the garage, and stared at them. Low and behold- I've got the brake cylinder on the wrong side of the plate. Put it on the correct side; put the axles in; tightened to 35 ft lbs. And voila-rear end is doing what is suppose too. Thanks IMGTX and John RR for your responses.
