Hi Malcolm.
As above start at the rear drum discs, jack car up on axle stands, wheels off, undo the torx on the face of the drum.

Front handbrake adjuster to end of the thread, drop the handbrake, the proceed to remove the calipers, remove the disc drum, clean inside the drum, wire brush backs plates and the shoes, pay attention to the expander as they can stick with all the dust after time.

Once you are happy all those are ok adjust the knurled nut so the drum will just about go on, fit the torx then through one of the stud holes adjust the knurled nut again so the drum will not turn, do both then back the knurled nut off a turn a time until you can just feel the drum dragging a little.

Now adjust the front handbrake cable to the 25mm off the top of the nut, put a wheel on by two studs and see if you can turn the wheel by hand with the handbrake on one click, if it turns then try two click, and so until it will not turn hopefully at three clicks.
