From the backing plate you push the wheel down to tighten, up to loosen. If the brakes are set up correctly including the hand brake cable they will adjust themselves. The cables get adjusted while the drums are off so you can set the lever gap. Check the archives for past articles including shimming out the lower shoe rests.
