Rear Drum Brake Adjustment

Could anyone post instructions for adjusting the rear drums on my 97 4x4 ext. cab f150? I just did the front brakes (these rotors are crap) and thought I'd adjust the rears. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Rear Drum Brake Adjustment

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 25-Oct-00 AT 05:03 PM (EST)[/font][p]Put the truck in reverse, back the truck up and press the brake pedal. The brakes self adjust when pressing the brakes in reverse. They've done this since the 60s. Nice feature. :-)
