I have a 2004 Club Car DS. The driver side brakes started dragging. I checked them and they were wore out and the auto adjustment screw was all the way out. I bought new pads and changed out both rear sides. The passenger side works great. On the drivers side I turned the self adjustment screw back down but the pads were to tight to put the drum back on. I double checked to make sure I had the T and L in the correct place and I did ( both up T towards the Front and L towards the back of the cart, L faces out and T faces inward.) I could not figure it out and needed the cart so i placed the passenger brakes back on the drivers side sice they were only half worn. This worked for about 9 holes then the brakes overtightened again and it started to drag. I then changed back to the new pads but slighlyfiled down the edges of the pads(chamfered) because it seems that when I put the tire on the brakes get much tighter then just testing with only the hub. This worked for a while but now they are to tight again. They drag so bad that I only get about 12-14mph out of my normally 18-20mph cart. The drum will get so hot you can barly touch it. I also tried to swap the drum from side to side to see if this helped but both were very tight. I am clueless on what to do next and so is a very experienced helper that lives close. Could the assembley be bent and need to be replaced? My next step is a 2 hour drive each way to a good cart place and start throwoing $$$ at it.
