I received the brake shoe return springs yesterday from A&D Auto Parts in North Royalton, Ohio and started the process of re-installing the drums today. Even with the adjusters set for minimum expansion I am having a very difficult time of putting the drums back on. The drum on the right rear side is the one I started with and as the drum is put on I am having to use a sledge hammer to push it onto the axle shaft. The drum is shaving some of the brake lining off. Does this mean I need to remove the drums and shoes and take them all to the place that re-lined the shoes and have them arc the shoes to the drums? I don't think it should be this difficult! I must be doing something wrong, but I can't imagine what since I backed off the adjusters as by feel for the least resistance felt. Thanks in advance.
