I do mine just like J&D said. Perhaps the only difference is I leave a slight drag as the drum is rotated. I try for a drag occurring only for 1/4 turn (3/4 free of drag). You can hear/feel it.
Exercise the brake after your done by attaching the TV cord and pressing the brakes while spinning the drums and then release to make sure the drums don't stay locked. Several checks for each wheel.
Takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it you will do ok.
When you take the trailer out on the road after adjustment try to watch the trailer tires in the mirror for the first 100 miles or so to make sure there is no smoke.
Then the next time you check your adjustment if your get the 1/4 drag you know your ok and no need to adjust the brakes on the wheel you checked. Adjust only the ones that have no drag.
