If adjusting with the wheels on, put the back up on jackstands and the truck in neutral (e-brake off). At the bottom of the backing plates there will be an oval hole (odds are with a rubber plug in it, take the plug out). There's a star wheel inside that you can turn with a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the brakes up some. Put the rubber plug back in when done. But beforputting the cart in frot of the horse, how ARE your rear brakes thickness wise?

Actually the adjusters are on the top, nunya. Check to make sure the adjusting assembly isn't seized like mine was. The drums are supposed to adjust by use of the parking brake.
