I recently checked the rear drum brake shoe of my mazda protege 2000 (ES) and it looks like its having un even wear pattern. The Leading Shoe is Ok at the top but completey worn out at the bottom, While trailing shoe shows looks ok and has uniform wear. I heard that self adjusting screw may not be working propery (not lubricated properly), but i doubt that protege has any such screw. I am planning to replace the brake shoe myself this weekend, but slightly affraid as i am not sure what causing this uneven brake wear. It may happen in new brake shoe also. I think i need to apply some grease to some parts, but not sure what those are?
