    I have a Corsa -C and recently put a new brake shoes into the rear
    hubs.
    This weekend I started getting a noise from the nearside drum during
    travel, which disappeared when I pulled the handbrake slightly.
    I took the drum off to investigate and found that the shoe facing the
    front of the car had slipped off the cylinder at the top, it had moved
    toward the back plate not toward the drum. I put everything back as
    it's supposed to be and all was ok.
    The same problem has appeared again today!!
    Has anybody come across this before and is there anything I can do to
    stop the shoe moving away from the cylinder?
    Cheers

    Have you put the adjuster on correctly? there is a little spacer that goes
    between the shoe and the adjuster - it doesn't always come with new shoes so
    you have to swap it from the old one.
