I ended up using a rubber mallet & tapping around on the brakes until everything was centered up.
I then put the drum on as far as I could & flailed on it with the rubber mallet until it popped on.
Then I adjusted them until they were just right -
Sometimes you have to consider that most of this is made from iron & they were desigend to take a beating.
