Some times drums get warped. The three 3/8" screws aren't big enough to overcome the warp. I cut the center portion of an old wheel out and place it over the wheel studs as if it were an entire wheel. then use the lug nuts to tighten the whole thing down. You would be surprised at how much the drum will distort. This is why even turning the drum on the hub doesn't mean the shoes won't rub when the wheel is on. I have turned many drums thinking I had the best set-up only to have the shoes drag once the wheel/tire was thightened down. I wrote an article for the Power Wagon Advertiser on the subject. Gordon published it about two years ago.
