Happy to assist other ways its not rocket science - 1 Fit the new shoes fit the drum adjust the snail cams so the shoes are just dragging.
2 Remove the drum ( all this drum on and off is easier if you grind off the corrosion and wear lip on the drum with a flap wheel in a grinder).
3 Fit your superdooper tool and find high spot ( which will be at the top 20mm of the shoe) then using the eccentric adjuster make sure the majority of the shoe is in contact with the tool.
4 Fit drums.
optionally go for a short drive plenty of braking both forward and back and repeat the centering process this gets the shoes well bedded in and all concentric. dont peen the nut till your sure you have achieved working honk free brakes or youll spend a fortune on nuts and thread files
