I cannot "back off a bit" to free the drum. Also, 3(a) says the direction of the turn is "VERY" important. This has me very concerned because I cannot maintain just that direction and get the shoe to set. Thanks. I know it sounds simple, and it may be simple once I figure it out. Right now, it's just not working for me as described.

Did you have the shoes arced to fit the drums? I once bought a set of relined shoes. They drums wouldn't go on. The problem was I had NOS drums and all of the companies doing relining assumed everyone would have drums out at least .030. I sent the shoes back and they arced them, after which it worked fine. May not be your problem but consider it if the drums won't go on.
