That sounds a bit too tight to me. Typically you tighten the nut so that’s the drum is difficult to turn by hand, then back it off a notch or two. You’ll have to refer to the manual for the exact number.

As for the drum not going on all the way, did you replace the bearings and is it possible that the inner race isn’t pushed all the way in or that it might be the wrong one?
