Recently replaced front shoes and noticed when braking it pulls left. Should I tighten the right front a few clicks to balance, or loosen the left front a few clicks to balance the braking action?

Adjust them toward each other – one click tighter on the right, one click looser on the left.

I would also recommend checking to make sure everything is correct first. Rod slack, clevis angles, initial adjustment, etc
