i get everything back together 100% of how the pictures i had were, but then the brake adjuster cables had 1/2" of slack, where it had all been tight.

it took 4 hours and calling my mechanic brother out to look at it to finally figure out that the half-moon cable guide piece the adjuster cable ran over had a notch that was 1/32" out of place, causing the slack.

drum brakes are evil.

That's great but you still haven't explained why you drew your brake drums on your car?
