I recently adjusted my own using the method described in my manual, which was to tighten the bolts on the inside (under the car) of the drums until the wheel is locked and then loosen 1/4 turn. Not too exact obviously, but it works, so I'm not complaining. I also had to shorten the e-brake cable at the base of the lever.
Good Luck!

Hi!
I just noticed that my rear drum brakes are not working right. The left drum brakes but the right one does not.
Is there any thing that can be done like some regulation or adjustment anywhere???
Thanks for your help, Alejandro
