Specfics depend specifically on what type of drum brakes you have. The simplest way is to lift the axle, remove the wheels and the drums, and keep one side intact while you do the other side. That way, you'll always have a reference right there.
Only the rear brakes are drum brakes. The front brakes are disc brakes. To answer your question, twist the end wing nut by your drum brake. It tightens and adjusts how much you have to press on your rear brake lever.
Drum brakes do not have the stopping ability of disc brakes, so no not harder, but slower.
You have hydraulic brakes and air brakes. Hydraulic brakes can be drum or disc. Air brakes can be drum, disc, or wedge. On a lot of medium duty trucks and RVs, the parking brake can be a shaft brake, mounted to the back of the transmission.

The purpose of a drum brake is to come to a complete stop with any veichle that may have drum brakes in the rear of the car.
because disc brakes provide more uniform torque throughout than drum brakes during braking..
No , disk brakes front and rear ( the back disk brake rotors have small parking brake shoes inside of a drum portion )
pad brakes are disc brakes, it's known as changing brake pads for disc setup and changing brake shoes with drum brake setup.
You Tube "Happywrenching.com". Incredible video on how to change rear drum brakes on a 99-03 Protege. Did the entire brake job myself! :)
S-cam brakes.
drum brake and disc brakes
Just google how to replace disc brakes for a good description with pictures, or drum brakes if you are doing the rears. Disc is very simple job (less than an hour), drum not so much (can take 4 hours the first time you do it).
