I prefer PB for that purpose as it is a penetrating oil. I have often heard acetone/atf touted as a wonder juice but when I mix some up it separates in short order.

You can use a screwdriver to turn the star wheels on the brake adjusters but it is difficult to get on them. A brake adjusting tool, or "spoon" is made for that purpose and will not cost much if you can find one. Likely a photo somewhere on google

Violence will consist of using a puller on the rear drums (there are MANY threads about this) and letting the shoes and what not come with them. Ugh.
