Check to see that the brake adjuster is secure and the shoes are centered
corectly.
I believe they say to step on the brakes to center the shoes before
adjusting. I may be wrong. I think I did it one one and not the other.
Having to back the adjuster off to put the drums would be normal, since they
should have quite a bit more meat on them then the 30 year old ones they're
replacing.
