1. Park your truck on a level surface. Apply the parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent the truck from rolling.

2. Locate the brake adjusters. The rear brake adjusters are located on the back of the brake backing plates. There is one adjuster for each wheel.

3. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the adjusters. Turn the adjusters until you hear a clicking sound. This means that the adjuster is engaged.

4. Continue to turn the adjusters until the brake shoes contact the brake drums. You should be able to feel the shoes making contact with the drums.

5. Back off the adjusters until the clicking sound stops. This means that the shoes are now properly adjusted.

6. Test the brakes. Make sure that the pedal is firm when you apply it. The truck should stop evenly without pulling to one side.

* If you are having trouble turning the adjusters, you may need to use a pry bar to pry them loose.

* Be careful not to over-adjust the brakes. This can cause them to drag and wear out prematurely.

* If you have any questions about adjusting the rear brakes on your truck, consult a qualified mechanic.
