Recently changed rear cylinders on the drum brakes at the back and bled the system. However, when jacked up the hubs / wheels seemed to be locked - they don't move unless a considerable amount of force is added. Any ideas as to what this could be?

Thanks

did you adjust the shoes right down then adjust them up again untill drum stops turning then adjust them back down 1/2 a turn

How do you go about adjusting the brake shoes?
