My son and I have been working on the brakes of his 6 cyl 65 Coupe. We have taken everything apart after photos were taken and replace all parts. New drums and shoes, wheel cylinders,bearings and hubs. There was no problem with rebuild of rear brakes. But the fronts!!!!
Problem, when trying to fit drums onto hub the shoes are too tight. The adjuster is run all the way in and the shoes have the proper leading and trailing shoe in proper location. Ican work drum on but they will not turn due to contact with shoes.There isno further adjustment for clearance. There isn't any fluid pressure on wheel cylinders.
Any tips? I would hate to have to turn new drums.

Are you sure you got the correct drums? the only other thing I could think of is that the shoes are misaligned someohow

welcome to the site, I would direct your question to the classic mustang forum, I'm sure someone there can point you in the right direction
