Default Re: Rear brake woes

Here's another picture with the brake drum on as far as it will go. When I try to push the brake lever back, it expands the shoes further and won't go all the way back.
If I push the lever all the way back before trying to put the drum on, it still won't go on, as the shoes are too tight. I sanded the ends of the linings, but that didn't seem to help.

I'm reluctant to take everything apart again (a lot of work), but am learning toward the notion that the cam is past its stop. What do you think?
