I was swapping out a wheel stud, when I realized I did something to make the cover no longer fit back on. Does anyone know what I have to do to put back the drum cover? Thanks for reading.

Honestly, it got dark on me and I cant really see anything.
"Knocking the the brake shoes back" is that my problem or solution?

you may just need to adjust the brakes. There is an adjuster located in at the bottom in between the brake pads that is a two piece and has a sprocket on one piece. Just screw the Two pieces closer together and you'll be able to compress the brake shoes closer together to get the drums back on.
