How do you adjust self-adjusting rear brakes on a 1982 Ford Explorer?

Normally self adjusting brakes adjust themselves when applied in reverse, drive backwards for 4-5 feet, apply brakes, and they'll adjust themselves.
I'm thinking you mean 1992, not 82?
if they don't adjust themselves, they are either worn too far, or there is too much rust or crud built up on the adjustment wheels/screws to work. clean mechanism, or replace shoes.
If you need to get them off, there is a small window on the backing plate that may have a rubber plug over it, pull the plug, inside is a toothed wheel, with a small metal flap pressing against the edge of it, reach in with a screwdriver and lift the flap away from the wheel, then using another screwdriver or a brake spoon, turn the toothedwheel, if you turn it without lifting the flap it will only turn the brakes 'tighter', lifting the flap lets you turn it looser, so if you get confused about which way to turn let the flap loose.

Open brake fluid reservoir for the brakes - make sure it is full of brake fluid - put lid back on reservoir then pump the brakes then hold the brakes on - have someone open the bleed screw on the brakes and let the air and oil out and close it again quickly and repeat until the air bubbles stop in the brake fluid, also checking to make sure you do not run out of brake fluid before you finish bleeding the brakes.
How do you replace rear brakes on a 1982 Chevy S-10 pickup?
its pretty simple. jack the rear end up, remove the back wheels, knock the drums off [they usually come off with a little or a lot of pursuading]then once you have both drums off you will see little round plates with spearheads through them. the rounds pieces are slotted to fit over the spearheads when you turn them to line up.once you have those out pop the springs located in various places on the shoes and the shoes should come off in your hands. DO NOT DO THE SECOND SIDE UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THE FIRST SIDE AS THE SECOND SIDE SIDE WILL BE YOUR REFERRENCE TO REPLACE ALL YOUR BRAKE PARTS FOR THE FIRST SIDE!!!!OLD SCOOL RULES. replace drums adjust the brakes and put your tires back on.most drum brakes are self adjusting these days so dont sweat the adjust brakes part too much. this pretty much applies to most drum[rear] brakes. remember, its the K.I.S.S. rules, always. [after old scool]

Lube all cables, change all case fluids, adjust/ bleed brakes (change fluid if applicable), inspect overall condition and tires, inspect/adjust chain tension, check lights, adjust carb(s), change all filters (istall in-line fuel filter if possible), change plug(s), refill with mid-grade fuel.

Will 1997 Ford Explorer tires fit a 2007 Ford Explorer?
Depends. All tires have a size on them, so the questions of the year of vehicle is irrelevant. If the size of the 1997 Explorer is the same size of the 1982 Chevy Van, then they are both interchangeable. The problems if any will be in the rims. But if the rims are different then the tires would be different too.

There is a rod connecting to the pedal. There is a nut behind where it connects that you can adjust to get rid of the free play. Your vehicle should have 1/16 to 1/8 inch of free travel before the push rod engages the piston in the master cylinder.
