Rear Drum Brakes

The rear drum brakes use an internal hydraulic rear wheel cylinder with expanding brake shoes and linings that are applied against a rotating brake drum. An incremental brake adjuster screw is actuated whenever sufficient wear occurs. Brake adjustment takes place in forward or reverse braking, but not with parking brake application.
