Wrong Cylinders or Wrong Brakes?

[Shep59]

I am lost as last years Easter egg.. the new brake shoes have this bulbous end on each one and that end won’t fit into the slot on the cylinder

So do I have the wrong cylinders or shoes?
This should not be this complicated… thanks for any help!!!!!

It's been a while since I've had to deal with drums, but, IIRC one of the shoe ends that fit into the cylinder slots is wider than the other. Maybe turn the shoes around? If that don't work, I think you got the wrong shoes.

Thanks but I tried reversing them.. won’t fit … I guess I could grind them down to fit.. but shouldn’t have to.. I’ll have to find who I bought them from … jeeez..

Trim them. I did my drums in 2001, same issue.
