hey guys another questions for the guys that know best.

I have 98 blaster with the drum brakes. I have replaced all the front wheel berings I also have replaced the brake shoes. If I spin the drum on my fingers it rolls forever(good). If I put the drum part of the way on it rubs ever so slightly on the shoes.(no problem)(side note: it did rub here alot and I ground down the end of the shoes where the acuator is and it helped ALOT) Ok so here is the question when I slide the drum all the way on it drags alot. It seems to me that it is friction between the drum and the backing plate. Anyone ever have this happen and what did you do to fix it? Any input will be welcomed. Thanks.
 
Understood and they do drag a little bit on the shoes. But they drag more then a little bit between the drum and the backing plate. That is what I am wondering about. Is that normal or is there something that I can do about that?
