Hi I was reading comments on wedge brakes & how bad they are.
I have found many owners & Mechanics dive into the brake drums looking for faults, but the wedges are behind the boosters and can wear parrallel with use over time.
All the brake shoe adjustment will do nothing if you don't have good wedges, when overhauling remove all booster & inspect wedges as well as inspecting inside the brake drums & all the adjusting mechanism .
I believe if you do this you will change your opinion on wedge brakes.
Just remember the name WEDGE BRAKE have you checked the Wedge.
Stop safely it could be your wife & children in front of you.
