I just reciently added new shoes to my rear drums. i've pumped the brakes to adjust them right but now that i have added them, only my front brakes seem to work. i'm not quite sure how to adjust them properly. if anyone knows how to, and has pictures, would you be able to send them to me and step me through this? thanks alot

It would be more difficult to explain adjusting brakes online; try Googling 'drum brake', 'adjusting drum brakes', Autozone' online site for tips, etc.. There are plenty of online sites that will give detailed pictures and explanations. Good luck, I'm sure you'll find the info.[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

 

Hey, thanks, i'm just gonna take it to a mechanic. there is something wrong with my break system all together, my front right side tire is the only one that lock's up. i know this guy who isvery good at fixing breaks and i'll get it done for free. But i think there also might be something wrong with my caliper so i'll have him take a look at that aswell. thanks for the help anyways

 

When working on breaks, it's always the SAFE thing to do by having someone that knows what they are doing do the work. I mean brakes are an important item on a car. Good move.

 

I got my breaks fixed, i picked up a new break cylender and adjuster arm, bled my lines, and now my breaks work 200% better. thanks anyways
