I just checked the archives back to '95 and the only mention of which way to turn the notched adjustment wheel is referring you to the Bentley. I did this last fall and don't remember which way (up or down) but do remember I noticed a difference because I jacked the rear up so I could turn the wheels and hear the friction of the shoes on the drum. An actual brake tool that is canted or bent on the end helps access the window. A screwdriver doesn't work well as it's straight. The shorter the thing you use the better as long as you have some leverage. Hope that helps some.
