cleaned up or replaced all brake components and everything seems smooth with snug lug nuts, but when I put them tight the wheel will no longer turn. I can see 2 spots that the new drum appears to be rubbing which are almost opposite each other around the back plate. Very little play in the wheel bearing on that side, just replaced the bearing on the other.
It took some beating to get the old drums off so maybe I hit the plate by accident and bent something slightly, but before I start prying things wanted to get some outside input. Is there something else it might be that I am not thinking of? Any suggestions for bending the plate back preferably without pulling the hub?
