I've recently rebuilt my wheel cylinders, prettied up the backing plates, and put new shoes on my not yet driving 1940 Commander.
After mounting the backing plates and placing the drums on the drums seem to turn reasonably well for not having adjusted the pads yet. However once I put my wheels on the drums the wheels are totally bound up and will not budge at all.
It got pretty late so I didn't investigate beyond removing a wheel, spinning the drum, and putting the wheel back and being disappointed again. I was curious if anyone has experienced a similar issue and has some ideas on what I should check the next time I get to work on the car.
The wheels (rollers) are a bit wider then what should be on the car but they do not appear to rub on anything like the wheel well or anything as far as I could tell.
Thanks in advance!
