Brake drum binding up....

[Andrezleuro]

Hey guys, anyone ever ran across a brake drum binding up ? I installed new dropped soindles ( had to clearence for backing plate). Passenger side binds up the moment in put in the bearing race.... driver side went together no problem, same parts same everything. Any ideas ?

You mean when you slide the drum on and the inner wheel bearing finds its shoulder to sit on, or when you install the outer bearing?

Free spin all the way until I slide in the outer bearing race on.

Have you tried switching drums side to side?

The drums are on the same side they came off of... even before installing outer race don’t have completely free spin, shoes are closed all the way also

Might try switching drums and see if problem switches sides at same time.
