I pulled my drums to repack my bearings a couple of weeks ago. Brakes were fine. After cleaning everything up with brake kleen, I reinstalled the drums and went for a ride. Very weak brakes for about a mile, then they started settling in. We went on a 300 mile round trip outing last week and the brakes were better than ever. Actually had to back off the breaking effort setting on the truck. Maybe you just need to go on an easy does it ride and see if they come around.
