150lb ft is for the half-shaft/hub nut, can't see a figure for the drum

Both shoes should expand outwards, but doing it with the drum off you may
only see one. The other will move when the first reaches the drum.
Yes. Disconnect the cable from the lever and the boot should fit over it
and the retaining lugs.
