No, I just went and bought a 9/16 die and re-threaded the spindle. When I had the drivers side apart I saw the outer shoe was cracked. I should have just gotten new shoes then but since it still stopped and I don't really want to put a lot of money into this car I let it go. :o So now I'll prolly have to spend more money and get new drums too
