abh;
The adjuster should be fully retracted, and the handbrake adjustment should also be backed off.... that should make enough room for the drum to be clear over the new shoes without contact. If still not, something may not be together correctly...you may want to double check against a manual...the spring on top should pull the shoes back together (and retract the pistons into the wheel cylinder)...
Do NOT use the nut to pull the drum back on...something is not right...shoes should only make contact when braking, or Emergency brake is applied!
