Trouble Installing rear brake drum

Hi guys,

Having trouble getting a rear brake drum back on.  Got it off ok but I can't find a way to get enough clearance for it to go over the shoes to go back on.  Tried playing with the star wheel to see if I could get more of a gap but no luck.  What's going on?  I feel like a school boy again trying to do this.  Please help, thanks.

    Have you relined the brake shoes?  If so you will need to reset the anchor pin and back the starwheel right off.

    Hey guys and especially Geoff,

    I got it on!  I played a little more with the starwheel and got a bigger hammer because that always helps, right?  :-)  Seriously, we are good to go.  Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day weekend.
