drum brake question!
why is it whenever you fit new shoes or just take the old ones out fr a bit, you can never get the bloody drum back on and when you do it barely
turns!

Grind off the ridge that will be worn in the edge of the drum - that will help get 'em on.

Are the adjusters wound all the way out?

Is the handbrake adjuster backed off? Is the self adjuster mechanism free and backed off? Is the handbrake linkage in the drum free? Is the wheel
cylinder siezed? Is the master cylinder push rod over adjusted? Is the drum distorted, especially if you clouted it with a hammer on the outer edge to
remove it? Just a few items to be going on with.
