rear brakes are driving me crazy help

my dash brake lite came on a week ago and they started to make a grinding noise in the rear shoes so I did a rear brake job no big deal (right). Had a lot of trouble getting the rear drums off but after backing off the star adjuster I still had to bang them off with a hammer. Put the new shoes on and I thought I was done but know , the drums would not go back on. So I cleaned up the rough edge of the old drums and they went back on with some help. could not spin the drums after. so I took it all apart again to find that the emergency brake cable was stuck. Then I freed the cable up by pushing it all the way back and spayed the cable with wd40. the drums when back on better and moved freely. So I figured that I was done but know such luck. My dash lite is still on and the emergency brake is slowly catching again and drums are very warm after a 10 mile trip. WHAT NEXT HELP!!!! I will not give up and bring it to the dealer. Now it's between me and these brakes and I mean to win. Any help would be graetly appreciated. THANKS "BEMAN"
