- You may need to adjust them. 180 degrees off from the wheel cylinder is the adjuster, which can be turned from the back with an open-end 1/4" wrench. It turns a square bolt that adjusts the shoes clo

- Two words: BRAKE ADJUSTERS! Up at the top of the brake backing plate is an adjuster. There are two little pistons that will push out from the center portion when it is screwed in. To move it in or o
