The 2000 Mazda 626 rear brake adjuster is located on the and of the brake pad. The brake adjuster is a screw. Your brakes should automatically adjust every time you back up and apply the brake.
Year, make and model of vehicle would help along with front brake, rear brake or e-brake information.
Rear disc ? if it is rear disc brakes there is a drum brake in side of the rear rotor that is your parking brake and has an adjuster in it if you pull the rotor off.
Make sure that the brake adjuster is screwed in to the minimum setting. the drum will be tight but should slide on. The adjuster can be extended with a brake tool or screwdriver through the hole in the backer plate.
Take off rear wheel. Remove brake calipers and support them with wire. Remove rotors. If they do not come right off they are either rusted on or they are stuck on the parking brake which is "drum style" located inside the rotor. There should be a hole in the hub face of the rotor to access the adjuster. Try turning the adjuster with a screw driver or brake spoon. Turning the adjuster "UP" loosens "Down" Tightens. Sometimes a large rubber hamer or prybar is needed.
You may have to loosen the parking brake shoe adjuster.
The 1996 Toyota Tercel brake cable runs from the emergency brake lever to the rear wheel. The emergency brake is on the passenger side rear wheel.
Drum brake I assume, the adjuster is located at the six o'clock position of the assembly when you get the drum off. The adjuster mechanisms seize up and fail after a decade or two, so get a kit for the brakes with springs and all, you won't regret it.
The minimum rear brake rotor thickness on a 1996 Lexus LS400 is 15mm.
First, verify that rear brake is adjusted properly. If drum brake, turn the each adjuster wheel (inside drum at bottom) until brake drags slightly, then back off (reverse direction) three clicks. If adjuster will not turn, repair or replace as needed. If equipped with rear disc, rear brakes auto adjust unless pads are incorrectly installed or calipers are damaged. Then, locate parking brake adjuster inline with parking brake cable. Turn adjustment until cable has some but very little tension and is not slack, but not so tight as to apply the brake.
