Adjusting front drum brakes

hi everyone
maybe a stupid question but how do you adjust them properly i know on my 69 kombi you have the hole on the outside and there is one adjuster at top and one at bottom
at the moment car pulls slightly to left
also on the front beam either side of centre pin there are grease nipples either side how much grease should be pumped into them

You have not stated what year it is, from 68 the holes for the adjusters are on the backing plate, pre 68 they are in the drum, it,s a good idea to have a manual for your model car that will give you the correct information.
