Forget the bleeding if you didn't change out the cylinders. I must have read that wrong.

I usually turn the drum with one hand while I tighten the adjuster with the other. When I say tight I just mean it starts to get harder to turn and you hear the shoes dragging on the drum. Then you back off a little. A little drag is OK because the shoes with seat themselves.
