Usually its the leading and trailing edge of the shoe that rubs. Just sand a taper on each end checking as you go by putting it back in the drum and spinning it. That's how I do mine on the bench.

I've assembled both front and rear. I'd like to do some sanding to make a better fit. Can't find anyone around here to cut drums. Is there a method to mark shoes while spinning in the drum to see high spots? A friend mentioned talcum powder. Haven't tried yet. Ideas? I can certainly hear the rubbing come and go as I spin them. Do you suppose this can be somewhat accurately assessed on the bench without the wheel buttoned up to the chassis and axles?
