drum turns stiff

If you did not turn the drums there is probably a ridge on the inner edge of the drum where the old shoes wore in.

Can try to knock it down with some sandpaper. Sometimes that ridge is mostly rust and scale.

Otherwise have the drums turned for a nice level braking surface. Should take care of it.

Adjust your shoes to the new turned drum, want them to turn free when you are done.
