The Drum brakes on the rear from memory are self adjusting,but on saying that after about 12mths they seem to forget that point ! Lift the rear wheels off the ground & remove the wheels & then the brake drums. You will see a geared wheel on the adjusting bar ,using a screw driver turn this wheel to open the brake pads about 12 turns then refit the Bake drum & turn the hub there should be a marked differance! If the hub won't turn take the drum off & turn the whell 2 or3 turns the oppposite way or if the hub spins freely open the adjuster several more turns . Do this on both sides. If the break shoes are any thiner than 2mm (1/8th of a inch ) replace them ! The same applies for the front discs these adjust themselves
