Start with the dots on the two adjuster bolts facing each other, then rotate each downward so the front is CCW and the rear is CW as viewed from the backing plate side. This rotation should make each shoe lower in the drum (at first rotation) since the dots indicate the high point of the eccentrics, after 90 degrees of rotation the shoe starts to rise in the drum.
