How do you adjust rear brakes on 2000 dodge stratus you tried to use standard brake spoon but there does not seem to be an adjuster inside slot on backing plate?
The rear brakes can be adjusted but it can be a trial-and-error process that involves raising the rear of the vehicle, removing the tire/wheel assembly, and removing the brake drum. Toward the front of the backing plate there is a small knurled wheel that can be turned with a flat-blade screwdriver which will move the brake shoes outward. Do this in small increments, re-installing the brake drum to check for drag. You may have to do this several times; do not over adjust the brake shoes. Too much drag on the brake drum will result in too much heat which will warp the brake drum.
Also, if you have experienced a squealing from the rear brakes at low speeds (e.g., while slowly driving through a parking lot, or into your garage), with a piece of coarse sandpaper, scrub the inside of the brake drums to break up the glaze that has formed on the friction surface.
Needless to say, take all applicable precautions against breathing in any dust from the brake assemblies.
