Best Answer

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.

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)
