Rear drum brake repair on YJ

So I recently changed out my rear drum brake pads and both wheel cylinders. One back right was leaking like crazy and when I pulled it apart it looks like it self detonated, springs were broken, it was missing parts and the pistons in the brake cylinder just fell off when I opened it up. After repairing them I made sure to see if there was a little drag on my wheels and took it for a test drive. Everything felt great but someone told me when you push in your emergency brake a few times that it's supposed to adjust your brakes. Is this true or do I have to manually adjust them through the back on the adjustment knob? Thank you
 
The self adjuster works when you back a vehicle up. I don't think the parking brake will do anything to the adjustment.
 
Awesome thanks so much for the feedback guys that article helped out alot, it also mentioned what mark Sr described about reversing
