Default 95 civic drum brake adjustment

well, up untill now iv only had to mess with disk brakes. i know that the drums need to be adjusted in the rear and i need to do it quick. iv got autocross this saturday and i know i will need some brakes for that. i know the basic concept, and have read the section in my hayes manual, but iv never done it.

i think the shoes and everything are still good, it just needs to be adjusted a little. i was told that when the car is lifted and in neutral and the parking brake off, i shouldnt be able to spin the tire backwards so freely. its pretty much got no friction when u spin it...

so i was wanting some advise from all of the other do it yourselfer pro's out there on what it is that i adjust and how.

when you pull the parking brake up it shouldn't click anymore than "6" times (i think it's 6, not exactly sure though). just tighten the nut so they're (the rear brakes) tight, and when the P/brake is released the rears spin freely...
oh yeah, that nut is under your arm rest, just remove the screws and 2 bolts, and lift the armrest away.
