They make centering poles for this sort of thing, although I've never seen it need to be done for a brake drum... usually, it's just for steer tires.

They're aluminum, cylindrical, and typically can accept a 1/2" drive ratchet at one end. Screw them onto the studs, and mount the brake drum. Leave them on until you have the tires on and have at least two lugs torqued down.. otherwise, they won't hold the center.
