When I took off the drums on my '54 3800 I thought the passenger side was locked up because it was so hard to take off I had to pry it off with a screw driver. The driver side came off almost effortlessly. After rebuilding the brakes (new shoes, cylinders, springs) my father and I put the drums back on. When trying to spin the passenger side it was really really tight, even with the brakes adjusted all the way in. the Driver side, super loose so we adjusted it. It had my dad, who is mechanically inclined, scratching his head. The drum linings look to be worn about the same as well. So what could be the problem? How could it be possibly fixed? and are the any dangers with this?
