Adjust the brakes until they are too loose, then on a deserted street, get going in reverse and slam on the brakes. Do this a couple or three times and your brakes should be adjusted.
However, if you have 10x2 drums and 10x1 3/4 pads, get the right parts and start over.

are youtalking about the drums or the brake pads?
but the rear left spins with out any binding
If I were in your shoes, id put the car securely up on jackstands, throw it in drive, and see WTH is going on back there.

I was refering to the drums.
Yourpassenger-rear drum is rubbing while your driver-side drum is not, right? Hmmm ... My strongest guess is that your drum is is rubbing against your rim. How much clearance is there between your drum and rim? Whats the backspacing on your rims?

Hawkins, How does a drum rub against a rim?If the tire goes on, there's room between the drum and the rim and since the drum and the rim are attached with lug nuts they spin together.
Just another day in my shoes....

i replaced the drums and brake shoes and it looks like is scrapping inside the drums, if i had a bad axle bearing would this throw off the rotation and causing it to scrape inside the drum?
If you had a bad axle bearing there'd be oil all over the place and chances are very slim that all of a sudden the bearing's axial clearance would be increased. Its either the drum is not machined deep enough to accept your shoes or the shoes are incorrect. (I've seen both over the years)
