[T3] Rear brakes adjustment and bleeding

Hi all, and thanks so much for the answers to the previous questions.
I have replaced both rear cylinders and now I'm in trouble because i can't 
adjust and bleed them properly. I'm sure the fitting of all the components 
is ok. With the drum off, i checked both adjusters, and they do turn freely 
and are rust-free. Before refitting the drums, i put some Mo-grease on them, 
and i have turned all of them in initial position. Once refitted drums, both 
front adjusters turn about 2 notchs only, and the rear about 4: but the pads 
don't touch the drum, wheels turn well and brake pedal goes all down. The 
bleeding is another question, i have followed the haynes instruction but 
still air is present in the circuit. I kept the reservoir full during the 
operation. How can I do this properly, with the help of an assistant? I 
think i've made some mistakes, for example trying to bleed brakes before 
setting them properly. Can you help me? Lastly just a thougth: I've removed 
the little springs that push the pad against the backplate with some 
difficult, and I refit them by compressing spring, holding it compressed by 
thin steel thread, refit pin and cupwasher, cut and remove thread. For the 
next time can you suggest me an easier way to do this?
Thanks a lot

ciao
