so I had to replace my backing plate for my drum brakes on the passenger side rear due to a stripped bleeder and when I put everything back together theres now a clunk when I turn (mostly to the left) when I checked it theres some play on the axle shaft. Could the bearing have become loose somehow? or is there anything else I should check before getting to far into it cause I dont want to spend a bunch of money when it could be something simple.
thanks for any info.

PULL THE DRUM BACK OFF AND LOOK FOR ANY SHINEY SPOTS......ALSO MAKE SURE THE DRUM BRAKES ARE RE-ASSEMBLED CORRECTLY.
OTHER THAN THAT.....:dunno: :gapteeth:

I pulled the drum back off and everything on the brakes was assembled correctly but I noticed a slight gap on the axle shaft where it looks like the wheel bearing slipped down the shaft somehow. so would I be able to hammer it back on or would I have to get new ones pressed on?
