Ryan,

Post a photo of the brake setup with the drum removed.  Maybe we can spot the issue.

I have lowered the adjuster to its lowest position, removed the e-brake tension and the brakes piston is at its lowest compression and the pads rub so tight on the inside of the drum that they stop the wheel from turning.
