Please tell me after making the initial rough adjustment and putting the drum back on, how do I tell that the automatic adjuster is working and is actually making final adjustment itself after a few stops in reverse gear? I've only known the "just have faith that it probably works" method. If there is a proper way to see the automatic adjuster has actually turned and is working as intended, I would like to learn about that.

Well, the big indicator is that the pedal gets more firm and the brakes work higher in the pedal travel. If the adjuster(s) don't turn, the brakes don't self adjust....
