When I put the parking brake on I can’t move the drum at all.
When I put a pole against the brakes I can forcibly turn the drum but not too much.
I drove it and it seemed to be braking fine.
I adjusted the nut so that the drum would only just slip on and just about move freely.

Sorry I have never used a torque wrench before so this is new to me.
Is this the only bolt that needs to be torqued properly in this process?
For the wheels I usually just stand on the 4 way wheel wrench to...

Maybe it was the wetter weather then idk.
