Default Rear brakes

Just installed new brake shoes on my sons 97 EX Coupe. I drove it and of course they need to bled. Do you adjust them first at the rear wheels and then bleed them or bleed then adjust? This is the first time I have done shoes.

if the rear is drum brakes just remember that the shoes should just barely drag on the drums

Got em done. Honda quality comes through again. After 144,000 the drums were in perfect condition. Not even one groove. And they are the original drums and first rear brake job for this car. Thanks for the info.
