It won't help with the lower eccentric adjustment, which is critical. You have to adjust that to the drum, through the 'window' in the drum. Then, I guess you could remove the drum, use the Ammco tool, put the drum back on, and still have to do a final through he window. NO, you would get the right diameter, but not the correct center point. Useless tool for the FFPW, not worth much good for a normal brake system either- throw it away. Just do it by feel, or through the window with a feeler gauge.
I think the Kemperer Museum site has the definitive article with the step by step.
