so i was replacing my left rear wheel hub yesterday and everything was going fine until i tried putting the drum back on. it wouldnt fit because one of the brakes on the drum wont return to its original position. its like its stuck as if i had the brakes pushed down all the time. but its just one of them. the other one does go back. idk what to do. i'd appreciate anyone's help.

Losen up the adjuster on the bottom of the drum so the drum slides on.Then readjust till it has a small amount of drag to it.Edit, I know i'm not the best speller, but brakes, break are two diff things.In this instance, it's brakes.Unless, you are taking a break from your brakes. HAHA
