    The only adjustment required is the cable tension, where the cable housing enters the back of the derailleur. The screws don't need to be reset when changing the cable, you can leave them be.

    He's right
    You shouldn't need to touch those limit screws. But even so just turn one and you will see the rear mech move in or out. Ive been adjusting them years and I can never remember either.
    Normally the barrel adjuster is enough.

    I only ever use the small limit screws if the cable is still loose and I'm setting the limits before putting the cable in. If you have fully wound down the barrel adjuster this is usually all you need to adjust once your gearbcable is in.

    To see what screw is what, upend the bike and with the chain on either the biggest or smallest sprocket see which screw is resting on it's stop.

    As said above though, don't touch them if you have only replaced the cable.

    Thanks for all the advice, i got the bike second hand and the low gear wasnt set up correctly so i just played around with the screws till the right one moved.
