put all new front brakes on the 64 sport fury about a month ago. Manually adjusted them properly and for the last month (about 500 miles) they worked perfectly - good pedal and dead straight no pull. Yesterday they started pulling right and rt front got hot. Backed the adjusters off a bit and ok for a few stops but then same thing. Took a look at both sides today - primary shoes are in front, self adjsuters are on correct sides and work correctly, shoes and drums look fine. Put it back together, adjusted them carefully to stop in about 1.5 turns. First few stops OK - then rt ft tight and hot without any reverse stops at all. I've done lots of drum brakes and can't figure this out. Hydraulics are also fine - both sides release when pedal up. Ideas and things to look at?
