Ryan,
You might want to consider removing the rear drums. Not much fun if this
hasn't been done in a while as the hub nut may be well rusted in place.
However removal of the drums will give you a good look at what is going on
behind them. I had an adjusting star completing missing on one of my rear
wheels. This will also give you a chance to see how the pads on the shoes are,
even though this can be done looking through the holes used for adjusting. Yes
use a flathead screw driver & a flashlight helps too...not for adjusting but
for seeing. 8^)
