Adjust at the hubs first.

Remove rubber bung on Rear of drums and adjust the nothched adjuster wheel upwards until it tightens, then back it off a few nothes to ensure that the shoes are not binding.

Once you've done that at both sides you can then carry out the adjustment at the handbrake lever.
