Post by: its_only_me on March 07, 2007, 12:17:27 PM

are the rear brake shoes on the 65LS a different part from a normal R65?

I can't be sure, but I'd think it has something to do with the LS rear wheel being different from the standard R65 wheel.

The LS brake shoes are different than a standard R65, the rear drum on the LS is a larger diameter than a standard R65. Sue had this problem about 2 years ago, maybe she will stop by and give the whole story.
