Can you take a photo of the hub?

Have you made sure the parking brake is not engaged?

Were you able to adjust the brake shoes away from the hub ID ? See attached document , Adjustment - Rear 1, 1/1/2 and 2 Ton

You did removed the two retaining screws that retain the hub to the spindle?

Does the hub turn freely , can you spin the wheel?
