vauxhall astra 1.7 L reg rear brakes?

Not sure how to line up self adjusters on rear brakes after having replaced shoes and wheel cylinders. Any help gratefully received

Self adjuster are to be fully loosened when refit.They are suppose to adjust when you apply the handbrake several times.If not open the lining by leverage with a screwdriver etc at the top where they contact on to the wheel cylinder and you should hear them click.Do one click at a time and keep putting the drum on to see if it is a nice fit i mean that you can just feel the linings touching the drum on rotation.
