it could be rubbing
- did you refit the retainer pins/springs and did you turn the cylinder 
pistons so that the retaining lug on the piston face was towards the 
outside. If the answer is no to both of these, then the shoes may have moved 
enough to rub on the drum edge.

Is your split pin bent far enough back in to not foul the cap?
Too much grease combine with an air bubble might also do this.
