It's a basic and simple procedure, you can either follow the method the shop manual (or any manual like Motors, Chiltons, Glenns covering Bendix brakes) gives, or perhaps wait for Ross Miller to chime in who has a simplified and abbreviated method that others have reported to work very well. Obviously what you're doing is making sure the center point of the shoe assembly corresponds with the center of the drums (and of course the spindle), i.e. making sure the two "circles" are concentric. Probably your drum has a small slot in the perimeter to insert feeler gauges to make measurements. Remember, what you do to one front wheel you need to do to the other!
