drum turns stiff
I did sand the square edges off the new brake shoes with some 80 grit sandpaper for my 2000 Ford van rear drum brakes. (without turning the drums)
Had the adjusters backed off all the way then put the drums and wheels back on, with the drums and wheels freely turing.
Then reached in through the lower slot to start tightening them up to a little drag, then backed them off a few clicks until the drum turned free again.
Worked for me..... It's a little tricky reaching in that lower slot hole to release the adjuster catch. I used the "L" of an allen wrench to get over the adjuster to release the catch, and used the brake adjuster spanner to turn the adjuster wheel.
