(1) Well..... We were all TRYING to help. Seems as though you were so sure what the problem was that you weren't bothered about listening.
(2) Could that be because the back brake is binding? Of course not! :whistle: Couldn't possibly be that, could it sonny?
Let me repeat two things - (1) You should NOT need to grind ANYTHING.
(2) You should NOT need to replace the brake shoes.
Both these FACTS point to an underlying problem. It appears that you have cured the symptoms, not the disease. I still stand by my guess, that the squeal may be caused by the brake lining binding on the drum, due to incorrect adjustment. Don't forget that your brakes are your lifeline. I'm not really bothered about you, but please don't carry any passengers until you solve the underlying problem.
You said that the post didn't help, but you seem too arrogant to realise that people with a lot of riding years, & a lot of experience working on bikes, have ALL agreed that grinding the drum is a BAD idea. Anyway - do your own thing - it's your neck you're risking.
