How do you adjust emergency brake on a 2006 F350?

Answer 1

Most "emergency" brakes are adjusted when the rear brake shoes are adjusted to the drums. On the drum backing plate, there will be a little "window" that has a rubber plug in it. There is only one on each side, so you can't miss it. After you remove the rubber plug, there will be a star wheel. Slide in a flat headed scre driver and turn the wheel down to push the brake shoes out closer to the drums(tighten). You will hear a click each time you turn the starwheel. If not, you are retracting the shoes away from the drum. After a couple of clicks, turn the drum (tires off the truck) and listen for a swishing sound from the shoes contacting the drum. Stop just after you hear the swishing sound. Your brakes are adjusted now. Replace the rubber plug and replace the wheels and check brake operation. Adjust as necessary.
