Lay down under the back of the truck and face one of the tires. You will see an oval rubber plug above the axel in the middle of the back plate of the brake. Pull out this plug and using a flat head screwdriver you will need to locate the star wheel that is inside this slit. All you have to do if rotate the star wheel to the outside of the truck. The easiest way to do this is to point the screwdriver down towards the ground, enter the slit in the back plate, locate the star wheel and then pull down on the screwdriver handle which will cause the flat head to rotate the star wheel to the outside of the truck.

Repeat for the other side, again rotating the star wheel to the outside of the truck.

You can see what the star adjuster looks like here:

Adjusting rear brakes on a 1988 4runner?

To adjust the rear brakes on a 1988 Toyota 4Runner, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the rear wheels. Locate the adjuster wheel through the access hole on the backing plate, using a flathead screwdriver to turn it; turning it upward tightens the brakes, while turning it downward loosens them. Adjust until the brake shoes are just barely touching the drum, then replace the wheels and lower the vehicle. Finally, test the brakes by pressing the pedal to ensure proper function before driving.
