AFAIK, drum brakes are self adjusting. So all you need to do is drive the vehicle in reverse and slowly perform an "apply-release-apply" sequence on the brakes for the shoes to adjust. Also, with the vehicle stopped, pull up the hand-brake a few times - this too will adjust the shoes.
If the above does not work then the brake shoes will have to be adjusted by moving a small tab inside the mechanism - best done by a mechanic.
They compress the brake fluid and push the brake shoes out against the brake drum stopping the vehicle.

The S cam brake system is commonly used on big trucks, semi's and trailers. The brake shoes are operated by a cam shapped like and "S". The S cam is operated by air pressure usaully. So when the driver applies the brake pedal air is supplied to a brake cannister at each wheel which rotates the S cam which expands the grake shoes into the drum.
there is a ajustment nut in back of gas tank where the cable splits to go to each rear wheel you can get to it better if you remove left side tire.use wd-40 onit sometimes it is frozen up.there is also ajustmemnts on each wheel where e-brake shoes are.have to remove calipers caliper brackets roters to get to e-brake area .the new e-brake shoes are about 75.00and you have to remove wheel hub to do it !
tetoic plates grind the grind a slip past each other
They are a pair of lace-up shoes (or boots).
Press on the brake peddle several times till it gets firm, than have someone push on the brake "normal" presserm, and get under there and on the brake caliper, will be like a little bolt, slowly turn it "open" and when brake fluid starts coming out, twist it tight, then have then press on the brake again and repeat till know more air comes out. Do the same on each side & each end, but after each side check your brake fluid and fill it back up as needed. Hope this helps.
Most older Camrys have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Each front wheel has a pair of brake pads that eventually wear out and have to be replaced; do not replace pads on only one wheel -- replace the pads on both wheels. Each rear wheel has a pair of brake 'shoes' that eventually wear out and have to be replaced; do not replace 'shoes' on only one wheel -- replace the 'shoes' on both wheels.
measure inside diameter of brake drum (where brake shoes touch drum) and measure outside diameter of brake rotors. usually if you look at wheel side of drums and rotors the size is stamped in millimeters on each
A piston on each end of the wheel cylinder pushes outward when the brakes are applied. This pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum and stops the vehicle. The pistons are forced out by the pressure of the brake fluid inside the wheel cylinder when you apply the brakes.

The star wheel is an adjustment mechanism used only in drum brakes. You will find it inside each rear brake drum, between the bottoms of the brake shoes.
