Drum brake - initial adjustment

I adjust mine sorta tight. After I assemble everything, wheel tire and all, I do like Roy said and shift the star wheel around a little and then adjust it so when I spin the wheel, it will not go one full revolution around. Sounds a little tight and I smell brake shoe on initial test drive, but it assures you get every bit of slack out and gives you the highest possible pedal feel. It's never failed for me. Been doin it that way since about 1974.
