Scott --

Did you remove the shoes from both sides of the car at the same time?  If so
there are several ways they can go back on (l to r, front to back), some of
which may not fit well.  If a show that has worn at a slight angle is put
back on with the prior inner side now out the wear will not match the drum
and can cause binding.

I have had this problem and finally made a chart of all the permutations...
then tried them one-by-one to get the one that fit best.  Next time I will
do one wheel at a time &/or label the shoes.
