[TR] TR3A Rear Brake Drum

[Scott Suhring]

Well, I got the new rear cylinder installed in my '59 TR3, but have
encountered a problem that I am scratching my head over. Before I needed to
replace the right rear brake cylinder, my wheel/brake drum turned freely.
Now since I replaced the cylinder, I can barely get the drum on and once on,
you cannot spin the shaft due to the shoes being so tight on the drum. I
have changed nothing else, measured the piston against the old cylinder, and
although the pistons have a different shape, the measurements seem to be the
same. The adjuster wedges are also fully in. Any thoughts as to what could
be causing this problem? I can try installing the old cylinder after
rebuilding it or I could have the drum shaved down a bit.  TIA
