Default Rear drums help!

One side of my rear brakes wasn't working off the handbrake, I've now freed that off so it working as it should but it's still not locking up, I know they have auto adjusters but is there anyway to adjust them manually can't see it in the Haynes manual, I previously had a seized adjuster but freed that off month or so ago also fitted new rear cylinders

lever the brake shoes out together at the same time, levering against the hub, try and do it a click at a time till the drum goes on and turns but with very light resistance. (hope this makes sense)
