TJ rear brakes

[DOUG]

2004 Rubicon rear disc brakes.

I've done the calipers, pads, and rotors before, no big deal. Now it needs the parking brake shoes. I take it apart and notice the rotors are junk, so I pick up new pads, rotors and PB shoes.
Looking closer it seems this will be a heck of a lot easier with the axles pulled out, so out they come. Wow, look at all the room to do the shoes!!

I remove the old shoes and install the new ones, now the rotors won't go back on, interference with the shoes.
So I check the adjuster, turn it all the way in. Still won't clear the shoes. Back off the e-brake adjuster, still won't clear.

It looks as if the rear shoes, both L & R sides, are not sitting against the actuating arm flush. Not sure what's causing this...

Any ideas?

How do the shoes compare to old? I've seen shoes glued/riveted wrong just enough to affect fitment. I've also seen the stamped steel part of the shoes be incorrect as well.

Id make sure the Ebrakes are totally released. Not a cable hung up. FjR68
