The goal is to get the rear wheels to track on top of the front wheels.
On my driveway, I sprayed a small section of water on the concrete. It doesn't take much, just enough to get the tread of the tire wet and leave a pattern on the dry part of the driveway.
I rolled the car through the wet spot and looked at the tread pattern left by the water on the tires.
I measured the offset (front vs rear), divided it in 1/2 and adjusted the PHB to the appropriate length.
It might take you a couple of tries, but it certainly gets it spot on ....
