Put a spare wheel and tire on with a couple of nuts and get a helper to spin the wheel while you adjust if you can. With or without the helper, when properly adjusted the wheel will spin (freewheel)just less than 1 full turn after you stop trying to keep it spinning. Then go and apply the brake and release and check the free spin again. You will probably then get to adjust it up 3-5 clicks to get it just right. If they are new brake shoes, you will have to repeat this last adjustment after several stops. If your self-adjusters work properly, you shouldn't have to repeat the last adjustment if you back up and stop several times, hard enough to make them work.
