How to Adjust Rear Drum Brakes.

I have read every post on the subject and with the anti spin differential you really can't hear, or feel, when the rear brake shoes are just starting to rub, then back off alittle. Is there anyone that has figured out a better way? What about measuring the ID of the drum and the OD of the brakes?

Next brake job make sure that the selfadjusters work , unless you just did them , what I do is adust till the wheel will not turn then back off a couple clicks , more accurate than slight drag becouse the shoes pivot at the top from ft. to back.
