Best Answer

To adjust the rear brakes you take off the wheel.

Take the 2 Phillips head screws out of the brake drum.

Insert two 13mm bolts into the brake drum and turn them clockwise.

Tighten the bolts down while tapping the drum on the side with a hammer.

After getting the drum off you release the pressure on the parking brake adjuster.

Adjust the brakes until the drums go on with a little bit of friction.

If the back drum brakes aren't adjusted tight enough the brake pedal wil go down too far.
