Drum brake

I have a drivers side drum brake that I am trying to loosen to get the drum off. I am having issues with the adjuster. Which way do I turn the adjuster from the back to loosen off the shoes?  I can see the threads of the adjuster on the right from the back,  so I am assuming I try to turn the adjuster downward?

Have you solved your issue? Bumping your thread in case someone knowledgeable enough might read it. 

I can't say without looking at it. I would recommend looking up your make and model online and seeing if there is a drum brake manual you can gloss over to know for sure.
