A few blokes in the past have had the best success with this sort of method. One bloke (can't remember name) said that he jacked up the rear, took the rotors off, did the adjustment like you said, put the rotors back on and put the car in drive to actually test if they would rub with the rears spinning. Great if you have a hoist I reckon, but I wouldn't be confident in trying it.
The shamfer all the way round the edge of the shoe sounds like a good idea.
Maybe later in the holidays, I could give it a try with JC? LOL!
