I just did mine two weeks ago. Like 7-8 clicks per side. You'll notice the handbrake lever will go up less clicks after adjusting too. I always clean and blow out all the dust in there with my air compressor *outside* only.

Are you advising to make adjustments through the rubber plug on the inboard side of the drum ?.

You can do it that way but you have to be careful not to overadjust them removing the drum is the best way because you can clean out all the dust I adjust mine every six months and it ensures even brake wear my front brakes are at 80 percent life after close to 60k miles
