Raise and support the rear of the vehicle safely on jackstands.
Remove the rubber plug, if equipped, from the rear of the backing plate.
The brake shoe adjuster wheel is accessed beneath this plug.
Insert a suitable brake adjustment tool into the backing plate slots and
engage the lowest possible tooth on the star wheel. Move the end of the brake
tool downward to move the star wheel upward and expand the adjusting screw.
Repeat this operation until the brake shoes contact the rotor surface, then
back off the adjuster 2 to 3 turns.
NOTE: The brake drag should be equal at both wheels.
After the brakes are adjusted, install a rubber cover into each of the backing
plate slots.
Remove the jackstands, and lower the vehicle.
NOTE: Pump the brake pedal to seat the brake shoes before
moving the vehicle.
