adjust the shoes to where they are dragging ever so slightly and test drive.

thats where they were when i put it back together. just barely dragging.

they were all new parts used, and i double, and triple checked them before assembly.

Change the brake shoes, and clean the drum prior to reassembly..

im not sure i follow when you say "they will still grab". the shoes weren't wet, when i took it apart and they seemed to be reusable. and why would wet shoes cause only that side to have stopping power?

thanks everyone for putting up with me here. i'm not a fan of brake work, at all, and this is frustrating for me.
