Both shoes should be right up against upper anchor (where the return springs attach) tight. If they aren't you'll have a tough time getting the drums on.

Just thinking, Dave.

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. Joe Joseph W.
