Remove the parking brake cable from the parking brake cross bar.
Loosen the anchor pin nut on the backing plate so that it will move. This will allow the shoes to self-center as you slide the drum over the shoes. No one seems to bother with setting this anchor pin, even though it is specified in The Manual any time major brake work is done.
