I just replaced both wheel cylinders, bearings, races, seals, hub drums and bled the brake system. On one side the drum is significantly hotter than the other. I think the shoes are a little tight on the one side but am looking for guidance. Hubs are warm but not hot to the touch and a little warmer on the side with the hotter drum. Should there be drag when adjusting the shoes or no drag? I am about wits end on these brakes but still wonder how hot is too hot on the drum itself, not the hub. My ir gun measured about 120 on one side and 155 on the other. Hubs were about 100 and 130 respectively. Next time it'll be a disc conversion.
