I've found that the soaking in whatever solvent as you're doing, and as
needed the heat of a propane torch is usually quite sufficient to get
them apart. And I usually use the same white lithium grease that I use to
make sure the wheel cylinder slides nicely on the backing plate and the
ends of the shoes on the adjustor and wheel cylinder, and the handbrake
cable lever....
