I bought new rear brake shoes for my 58 Belvedere. Rented a puller and got the drums off just fine. I installed the new brake shoes but have no idea how to properly adjust them. I can't find any info online.

From the factory service manual-
Rear Wheel Adjustment: Turn front shoe adjusting cam in direction of forward wheel rotation and rear shoe adjusting cam in direction of reverse wheel rotation until lining is solid against drum and wheel is locked. Turn adjusting cams slowly in opposite direction until no drag is felt.
