Interesting comment on the backing plate it appeared they "machined them" so they must have recognized some unevenness. The way the disc holder is made is it is peaked in the middle where the screw attaches to the brake shoe. It allows the pad to rock side to side to account for any misalignment to the disc. If you look close at the TSB you can actually see the screw head is slightly protrudes the caliper. When I removed the shoe pads were tight and the springs fully crushed. Now they rock back and forth easy.

I am sure I could tighten the clearance up more and get even better holding power but I don't want to risk the pads rubbing.

Thanks for all the help!!!!!
