Dave,

Yup, two adjusters in front.  Crank one up until the brakes lock, 
then back it off one notch. Do same for the second adjuster.  Step 
hard on the brake pedal to center the brake shoes, four adjusters in 
front, two adjusters at the rear. Repeat the adjustment a second time 
after centering the shoes.
