Hi Joe,
Make sure the emergency brake cable isn't hanging
up and forcing the shoes outward. Both shoes should be right up
against upper anchor (where the return springs attach) tight. If they
aren't you'll have a tough time getting the drums on.

drums on '62
Joe, is it possible the hydraulic wheel cylinder pistons are extended too
much? Just thinking, Dave.
