If you happen to remove too much from the drum you can use one old disks to gain a little more clearance.
The best advice on lubing the internal brake parts is don't do it. Anything other than a dry lubricant will collect the brake dust as the disks wear and will cause problems. I usually use a spray on graphite on the balls and ramps.
