It  appears to me that since this mechanism goes on the rear shoes, this  
necessarily means that the brake adjustment slots in the left side backing  
plates (which are placed towards the front of the wheel) no longer line up  with 
the star gear (for emergency adjustments).  Can anyone confirm this  or tell me 
what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Steve,
The adjustment mechanism no longer uses the slots in the backing plates.  New 
adjustment slots are in the brake drums which you should also change.
