you should see right behind that wheel there is an opening in the backing plate. you loosen the brakes so you can get the drum on and then you the wheel back on and take a flat screwdriver, (they actually have a special brake tool to do this) and adjust the star wheel through the slot by prying on the wheel.

you tighten it until the shoe are just barely touching the drum. just make sure you press the brakes every so often to keep the shoes centered.. good luck

Just screw the adjustment until the drum just fits on, then do the other side the same your set to go..
