Parking brake
My 02 6 sp manual needs a little help? It's a drum type with shoes inside the rear rotor. Is there an adjustment and if so how do you go about it? Thanks! trimman

Yes there is an adjustment for the parking brake shoes. You'll see the opening on the back of the backing plate just like a drum brake adjuster.
Turning the adjuster is a pain. Has a spring that runs right on top of the adjuster. Will work if you need just a few clicks. If it's way out. It's actually faster to pull the axle and rotor. This will also give you time to look at the brake shoes.
