    rear brakes

    ok well i needed to replace my rear shoes b/c of a bad grinding sound, thankfully it was just the pad itself , so i put in a new set and im driving around and now it feels liek alot more of the braking is set to the front, i tried adjusting the "star" to make them tighter i adjusted them about 3 times in the past 3 days , and it still feels liek teh rear shoes arent grabbit but there is wear on the shoe surface. reason i say this is the brake pedal feels a bit squishy compared to before , i didnt take any of the brake lines off so im not too shure if i still have to bleed the brakes.

    Re: rear brakes

    well if your shoes are adjusted up enough your e brake should hold with just 3-6 clicks pulled up. Unless somebodys messed with the cables and such.

    if it isnt . take the wheels off an the drums and run the shoes up close to the drum so that you can just just slide the drum back on. That should do it.

    I adjust mine that way everytime I change the oil.
