I have a 1952 Chevrolet 4 door sedan that I am restoring. I just replaced the wheel cyclinders and master cyclinder. It has drum brakes. I adjusted the front brakes so that they are not pulling to either side. How do I adjust the back brakes so they are applying evenly with the front?

Bring the adjustment up to the point the drums will not turn by hand, back off till the linings just make minimal audible contact with the drums, step an the brake to square them up and recheck.
