Re: Adjusting Rear Drum Brakes
I just use a short flat blade screwdriver with a mini screw driver to
hold the plate open if I have to back it off.
Once you have it close, it will self adjust when you hit the brakes in
reverse. You have to hit the brakes in forward between every reverse
hit to reset the adjuster.
