I checked the cable and adjusted by the cable splitter (right left) but the 300E was still not right.

But I did not check the moving parts in the shoe area - may have seized

The front cable is moving.

Noticed the hoe kit has springs nut not the other stuff.

How do you suggest I clean the rust and such near the brake shoes? (inside the drum)
