i had a rear brake locking on one side and decided to remove the brake dums on the rear axle from my bn6. the drivers side rear wheel cylinder had evidently been leaking for a long time and previous owner just neglected the problem. the rear brake shoes was soaked and probably lacked any braking fraction what so ever. I replaced the wheel cylinder and new shoes. I would like to adjust the emergency brake. can someone direct me to a link or forum source to do this? thanks for any help!
 
From the Bentley manual, section M.1:

is it okay to remove the clevis pins from the yokes to adjust the shoes to the drum? and then adjust the cable in or out to fit the clevis pins back into the yokes?

Yes:

Also make certain that the slackness of the cable can be removed as they stretch over time and may need replacing.
