They are now squeaking really bad and it just bothers me. Anything else in particular that you ran into when you did your brake job? Dave

Yes I got the full assembly for about $46 each for the never-adjust. For the most part it was pull the drums, un-bolt the 4 nuts on the backing plate, disconnect the wires and bolt on the new backing plate and re-wire and dress the wires.
I re-packed my bearings, roughed up the brake shoe and magnet surface on the drums. Also, I tested the shoe tightness before tightening up the large spindle nut. So I could pull it off and loosen the adjustment if needed.
I also, got 2 adjuster plugs. which the never-adjuster assembly has 2 holes per backing plate, un-like the standard brake with one. I also ordered new nuts to get my order on etrailer to $99.
PS on etrailer when I look up the never-adjust brakes I needed, they did have a few youtube's including instructions and one for selecting the correct size. I would double check the measurements of the drums, width of shoes and center to center of the bolts before ordering.
