Pulled the hubs off my '76 Trade Wind for the first time today, with the ambition of repacking bearings and inspecting brakes. Once I got the whells off the ground, I noticed that they made one heck of a lot of scraping sound when I turned them by hand. Disassembled, bearing look great, so I'm ready to repack. But, I'm not sure I understand these brakes. I can see the shoes, adjuster wheel, springs top and bottom, and, finally, the magnet. What looks so strange is the looset goosey nature of the mount for the magnet. It seems to just hang loosey, held with a almost not there spring at the back and a loop around a short stud to the side. After I saw the first one I was sure something was wrong and pulled the other hub on that side just to check. Both exactly the same. You can tell I'm not familiar with electric brakes. Tell me. If the magnet's hanging in there so loosely, doesn't it just rub the inside of the hub all the time?
