If you can not fit the shoes into the drum, and can not get a shop to arc
them, file the metal ends of the shoes that fit into the adjuster and
cylinder ends till the drums will fit with the required click or two of free
play. This is an emergency patch that I have used a number of times. Check
after the first session to see if the shoes have reasonable contact with the
drum.
Is anything bent or not aligned?

Any time I've put on linings, it's been a fight. They always seem too big
for
the drums, which also seem oversized. Supposed to be 9" but mic out .060 or
more over. I'm using Kevlar rear shoes and I'm not sold on them. I'm also
using finned alloy rear drums. Do they still arc-grind drum brake linings
to
fit the drums?
