So driver rear was mangled and my wife came home with the wheel smoking from the drum. I replaced it all and new wheel cylinder drum went right on. Went to change the passenger side rear brakes and all good and installed right, but this drum wont go on. Both brake lines to the drum broke and i ordered em could this be why the drum wont go on. Any help is appreciated. Always check the forum but never posted. Sorry if this the wrong place to ask.

Broken hydraulic lines would not be a reason that the drum wouldn't slip into place. Chances are the brake shoes are spaced out too far for reasons listed above.
