Hi Doug!
To adjust the brake shoe cams the following steps should be taken with wheel off the ground:
1. On the brake plate there are two 3/4 inch nuts upper area, one on each side. Turn the front (front side of axle) brake shoe cam adjusting nut out (counter clockwise when facing wheel (driver side), or clockwise when facing brake plate) until wheel is locked, then back off until the wheel will spin.
2. Turn the cam for the rear shoe out (clockwise when facing wheel or counter clockwise when facing brake plate) until wheel is locked, then back off until wheel will spin.
3. Reverse for passenger side
When bleeding start with rear passenger side wheel, then rear driver side, then front passenger, then front driver side as final. Repeat until air is out, BUT MAKE SURE YOUR ARE CHECKING MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL FREQUENTLY DURING PROCESS to avoid pumping air into brake system.
Adjust brakes, then bleed!
