you dont adjust you replace brake shoes
shoes? or pads? (front) question needs to be more detailed
A car what has front disc and rear drum brakes have front brake pads and rear brake shoes.
pedal travel is dependent on several things. first,check brake fluid level. then,i would remove the wheels and drums and look at the brake shoes. if they are worn,replace. also ched adjustment of emergency brake. low e brake can cause low pedal and is also an indicator of worn rear shoes. after replacing shoes,orif no worn shoes are found,wheel cylinders may need bleeding. bleed right rear,front left,left rear and right front in that order. do NOT adjust pedal travel at master cylinder since this may cause brake binding due to fluid return restrictions.
Rear brakes use a 2-stage rotor. Interior of rotor has a brake drum effect with brake shoes Adjust these brake shoes carefully because there is some expansion with friction heat and may cause brakes to drag
if it has girling brakes, look at the backing plate, look at the shoe, 1end is pointy , the top shoe has the point to the rear, the bottom shoe has the point to the front. the holding springs: left:green to front, red to rear; right:yellow to front, red to rear.de-adjust brake adjusters b4 replacing shoes.

take off rear brake calpers and theres a set of brake shoes inside adj and reinstall
the smaller of the brake shoes goes to the front side. remember to lube and screw the brake adjuster together before reassembling.
2005 park brake is a set of brake shoes inside a drum that is part of the brake rotar to adjust u need to raise wheels off the ground then get under neath the vehicle and find the small runner plug on backside of brake you will then need a small flat screw driver or brake adjustment tool to adjust the park brake you adjust the park brake exactly the same as you would adjust any other drum brake
Release parking brake. Place transmission in Reverse. Apply brakes very firmly at about 5 mph. Repeat 10 times. That will automatically adjust the parking brake shoes.
If it's rear drum brake you should be able to adjust the rear brake shoes properly and solve your problems Pull back the hand brake until you see a hole with a 10mm nut. You will need a 10mm deep well sockets to adjust brakes. Turn the nut clockwise to increase brake.
