Brake adjustment

Do the rear brakes adjust from backing up or the emergency brake?

E-brake, try to use it every time you park, or at least fairly frequently so the adjusters stay freed up and working properly.

If you rotate your own tires, good time to pull the drums & wash off the brake-dust & make sure the adjustment is correct.

When I got mine, my rear brakes were so far off, I manually adjusted them. Just till a light sprag, then backed off 1 click.. Perfecto..

PS: They will adjust up from backing up & hitting the brake as well....(old style)..
