I replaced a leaking wheel cylinder on the front rear wheel and now can't
get the drum back on. I have the emergency brake off and I've backed off
the adjustment gear on the bottom. What did I miss?

It's about 1/8" too big for the drum to fit over the pads.

Your self adjusting screw is installed wrong, look on page 5-24 of your maintenance manual figure 29

Be sure to set your bearing preload exactly like the MM. The post on how to do it is trending recent as I bought up the topic last week.
