They actually make a special tool for that. If not doing a bunch of these save your money. Suggest vise grip and big screw driver, somewhat neanderthal but works. the adjustment is tough becase there is supposed to be a knockout in the drum you remove to get to the adjuster but they wern't on all of em. turn adjuster out till you can just get the drum on without it binding up. put drums(both) on then press pedal 30-40 times. Then use the parking brake about 5-6 times. see how that works, As shoes expand the lever with the spring on it will tilt, turning the self adjuster when it tilts far enough.
