I am trying to replace the rear brake pads on my 1960 bugeye. After replacing 
them with new brake pads from Moss I can not get the drums to sit flush on the 
hub and they are really tight. 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.
 
can someone offer some suggestions?
