Are you going to have to replace the hardware ? Drum ? Shoes ? Wheel cylinder ?

How many more miles do you hope to put on the vehicle ?

Glad you got it apart ! Congrats :)
 
I did replace the hardware kit. Cleaned and adjusted and good to go.
As far as how many more miles do we plan on putting on the car..... This car is my wife's baby, we bought it new in '93 and she's driven it over half of her life.
She wants to keep it until the wheel literally fall off.
We've looked at new Honda's over the years but the wife want to keep her baby.

I am NEVER going to have the issue of the rear drums on my truck being caught on the shoes and here is why. I have to pull the wheels off twice a year for seasonal tire changes. While I have the rear wheels off, in addition to lubricating the hardware inside the drums and applying a bit of antiseize to the mating faces of the drums and hubs, I use an angle grinder and grind off any ridge that might have developed on the edge of the drums.

BTW I still have the original shoes on one side (the other side got ruined by an oil leak and had to be replaced) after thirteen years of stop and go driving in a big congested city.
