Hello
Does anyone know how to adjust the Rear drum Brakes on a 1993 Ford Festiva?
I'm replacing the drums but I can't figure out how to adjust the brakes. There isn't a adjusting wheel or screw to be found.

there is not any wheel so which you won't be able to do it. whilst the drum is positioned returned on and the brakes are pressed, whilst the brakes open up too plenty the adjuster adjusts itself. set up the shoes, positioned the drums on, then press the brakes slowly approximately 5 cases and it may alter itself.

If there isn't a wheel, they adjust themselves when they open up too much. Self adjusting
