Usually you have two shafts on the wedge unit that stick out of the backplate. These will probably have square ends for a brake spanner to fit on.
Jack up the axle so the wheel is off the ground and starting with the trailing shoe, adjust the brake till it strongly binds, back it off till it binds lightly and repeat with the leading shoe.
Press the brake pedal to center the shoes and repeat the process, until application of the brake pedal no longer affects the setting.
Spin the wheel by hand, it should be binding just enough to spin at least a full turn, when you let go.

They are awkward,you need a brake adjusting tool or a screw driver bent to shape.there is a rotary adjustment where a normal wheel cyl is that can be accessed through a slot in the backing plate,get a torch and have a look in the slot.

The tide for wedge supremacy seems to have turned toward Titleist and their Vokey line of wedges. Cleveland who once led the field has been doing too much fooling around with their wedges and have just gotten a mishmash of styles. Taylor and the others seem to be copies of the Vokeys which suggests to me that they are unofficially recognizing them as the brand to beat.
