In order to adjust your # AKEBRK-35R-SA brakes you'll want to turn the star up until the brakes are engaged and your hub/wheel is difficult to turn. You'll then back them off by turning them downwards about 10 clicks, or until the brake shoes are only dragging slightly. I've attached a video that shows this process that you may find helpful, as well.

You can adjust the brakes with a flathead screwdriver or using a Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630.
