You may be right, but unless the brake drum has been turned really way oversize, (like into the time to scrap it oversize) It isn't likely the cylinder will extend too far. I would be more inclined to check the cylinder for rust beyond the former limits of travel, perhaps causing it to hang up. Check the brake shoes, if the friction material on the end of the shoes (narrow dimension) isn't beveled a little bit, take a coarse file and put a bevel there. Most of the new ones you will get already have the bevel there, (but if the ones you have don't, then probably you won't notice) Avoiding breathing the dust of course. I have ran into this problem a couple of times, The first time I about pulled my hair out, given it was on a piece of equipment we desperately needed to work.
