Dan the most likely cause is that the lining material on the shoes is too
thick. I used to have a brake shoe grinder and almost always had to remove a
little from new shoes to get them in.
It is important to ensure that the radius of the new shoes (curvature) is
exactly the same as the drum as well!!

Subject: [Healeys] Brake Drums
I am installing new brake shoes on the rear of my BJ7. I haved the adjusters
all the way in and still can't get the drums to slide on. Any ideas on what
I'm doing wrong??
