To adjust the drum brakes first measure the inside of the drum, then measure the shoes on the horizontal diameter and at 45 degrees, adjust the drums until you have a 1\8 clearance, install both drums, adjust both until you hear them begin to scrape.
Now slam on the brake pedal a couple of times and re do the brake adjustment, what you just did was to seat the shoes inside the drum but they are still out of adjustment, the shoes expand in an ark and the adjusment needs to be done several times with the brake pedal being stomped as in a panic stop, this pushes the pistons and shoes against the drum and more or less centers them.
If you over do the nurlled adjuster, you can always back it up, tighten the drums until they are semy hard to turn by hand and back the adjusting wheel 3 teeth.
If you still have a spongy brake then there is air in the line and needs to be properlly bled.
