Default Rear tire locking up
I just put in all new drum brake pads and shoes with all new hardware in my jeep but the rear passenger wheel is locked up and i can not get it to budge. Idk what else to do so maybe someone here, i'm about to go out and make sure the e-brake cable is not being pulled in some way but besides that idk what the problem could be.

make sure you put the brake back together right if you got all new hardware
