brakes went out

I am a very new rookie, but here is what worked for me. I changed out the shoes, drums and wheel cylinder.On the front discs, I replaced the calipers, pads, power booster, m cylinder hoses and prop valve. On the drums, The drums wouldn't fit over the shoes, the adjustment was tightened, letting the shoes fit. A guy on the site said to go in reverse, 5-10 mph and slam the brakes to reset the adjuster, did that, heard a pop and everything was good to go. This is what worked for me, and I couldn't imagine that the front drums wouldn't have the same adjustment as the rear. Remember, i am new, this is just what worked for me!
