I use wahoonc's method. Works every time.
I happen to like these brakes a lot. They stop as well as the best brakes on my other bikes, once I changed the shoes to Kool Stop. They don't work in the rain, but that's because this bike has steel rims. It's odd that so many people don't like these brakes but I like them so much.
