adjusting the rear drum brakes

pretty much, some people just use the bellcrank to tighten it up, some people use the e-brake handle while driving in reverse and pull that several times as well. I prefer just manually manipulating the bellcrank till I think it's tight enough where there is just a slight drag between the drum and shoes.

What should the initial drag be? I have to set the cables and the bell crank as well b/c it was completely disassembled cleaned and painted b/c they were rusted through and through. The bell crank wouldn't move at all. Took a lot of pb blaster and a large hammer. I'll start at the spider gear, then the cable will be loosened up a little if need be and then the bell crank. I'm just not sure how to tell how much drag I need between the drum and the shoes when all is at rest.

I finished my rear brake job this evening and the instructions in my manual worked fine. I just read those instructions, I'm wondering what I would use to measure the inside diameter of the drum and the outside diameter of the brakes? And be accurate to a tenth of a mm?
