Ray,
Could it be when you tighten things up your compressing everything to much?
Maybe the brake plate is being pushed up against the drum to much when you
tighten the axle?

Hi,
Here's the scenario. Trying to mount the rear wheel on the 73 Eldo. I
shimmed the bearings without the brakes installed, but using the backing
plate of course. Mounted the wheel to the rear end, still without brakes,
but with all hardware, tightened down the axle and the wheel spins fine, no
side play. Installed the brakes, refitted the wheel, tightened it down and
it won't budge. Took it off, removed the brakes, compared the shoes and
lining to the old ones, same measurements, except for lining thickness. I
can drop the brake assembly into the drum and it will spin freely. The
linings aren't stopping the wheel from turning.
Never hooked up the brake linkage so that's not interfering. New springs on
the brake shoes. Inside of drum is clean without ridges.
Can't figure out why the wheel turns great without the brakes, then not at
all with them, when the brakes will turn freely inside the drum before it's
attached to the bike. Have checked and triple checked everything I know to
look for. All bearings, seals, shoes, and springs are new and correct. Don't
know what else to investigate.
