Hi Richie, yes I did use these tools, ale obeyed the manual, all was properly set up - however I had exactly the same symptoms as you - after few turns and kilometres brakes faded out and I was almost unable to steer. Drums were hot as well.
Last weekend we took out drums and again, everything looked fine, no oil on linings, brake mechanism working ok. I re-set it, drums are perfectly free untill 90°, fully applied at 160°, adjusters set to 4 clicks. However after this allignment brakes are "weak", Im not able to make skid turn, drum is not completely blocked. My lining are not genuine, sometime in the past they were replaced. They are not wowen but from some new rigid brake material, current thickness is about 6-7mm, which is less than wowen originals (about 10mm). However they are contacting the drums on the all surface.
As you were stuggling with the same issue Im wondering how you finally fixed it - maybe it could help me to. Thanks
