Drum brakes on modern vehicles have self adjusters. They adjust automatically when you stop while driving in reverse. You should always clean and inspect the self adjusting components when replacing the brake shoes, as they sometimes get gummed up with rust and brake dust.
Sometimes you have to stop several times in reverse to get them adjusted completely.
how do you adjust rear brakes on a 1986 chevy silverado?
The 1997 Chevrolet Silverado rear brakes should automatically adjust themselves. Every time you back the vehicle up and hit the brakes the brakes adjust.
If they are drum brakes then yes they are self adjusting, But they never adjust themselves right. You will need to adjust them. If they are discs brakes then there is no adjustment. ( replace pads)
Same as the Caravan...

How do you remove the rear drum brakes on a 1998 ford escort
It should have disk brakes on the rear, no need to adjust. If you need to adjust the E-brake do it from the handle in the car (would need to remove trim to get to cable)
