I spoke with one of our ASE-certified mechanics and he let me know that there is an adjustment access hole on the back of the brake drums on your 1991 GMC. There is usually a rubber adjuster plug in the hole that looks like # BP10-220. You will need to remove that plug to access the star-wheel adjuster. You can use a thin flathead screwdriver or a brake spoon like # W80630.
I've included a link to our video on trailer brakes and installation. You can fast forward to the 4:35 mark to view the brake adjustment section of the video.
