No, I think its ok. I can spin the drums by hand now. They turn smoothly, not like there's any chipping or dirt in there. And once the wheels were on There is no play that I can feel.
I suspect that the holes that the shoe anchor pins go through on the backing plates are a little worn. Probably why things are moving. I just did everything over and over, a little bit at a time, 'till everything felt good and what I could measure was in spec.
Then of course I found I had no axle gaskets in the kit of parts. That's tomorrow's issue to work on.
