Jeff,
Just a quick addition to what Tom and others said. You mentioned that you
used a grinder. What did you do and how did you do it? If you use the
grinder on the surface that rubs against the the shoes you may need to get
the drums turned just enough to make sure they're perfectly round again. If
they aren't you can get very uneven braking and pedal effects.
