Lubricating a brake drum and brake assembly?
I still cant figure out why my rear right brake drum and shoe is sqealing. It sqeals at any speed but the faster i go the more it does it. Basically the faster the feel spins the faster the sound is. You hear a sqeal then another sound, like the spring is releasing. Im thinking something is defintitely rubbing.
I had the shoe just replaced a month ago with Wagner thermal quiet pad, its clean inside as i hit it with cleaner. Even replaced the drum itself with a new one and readjusted the shoe so it wasnt so tight.
Now when i had the drum off yesterday and checked it, i noticed the rear wheel cylinder was leaking fluid so i replaced that with a new dry one. Do you think (even though cylinder has been replaced) this could becausing the sqealing?
And the shoe itself was unevenly worn, more wear on one side even though its only a month old. Do you think this is causing the sqwealing? Should i get a new shoe to put in?
I was told to lube the parts inside like the auto adjuster, but what do i lube exactly? how easy is this to do? taking it that i would have to take the entire assemble apart...
As for the wheel bearing, this crossed my mind. I took the wheel off, drum still on, rotated the drum while on at slow, fast and medium speeds for quite a while and no sound. It was smooth and silent.

Dude, FFS, buy one. http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2...C01&itemtype=N
Sorry, but it would be much easier to view the images in the manual than it would be to describe the "moving parts" areas which you're supposed to lube. It will also show you how to properly adjust your rear brakes. (including the e-brake cables under the center console, although it's already posted on here)
And it's not uncommon for the drum brake shoes to wear unevenly.
