Just finished installing my new shoes and drums on my '02 4Runner. I have read to adjust the brakes by turning the star wheel until you get a slight drag on the drums. I have read to go in reverse and pull up over and over on the Emergency Brake lever. I have read to just jerk up and down on Emergency brake while car is still. I have read that you need to adjust the Emergency Brake by removing the center console and tightening a bolt on the wire attached to the Emergency brake.
So, I went out in the street and did the going in reverse and pulling up on the handle about 15 times. My Emergency brake handle never got to the point it ever clicked. Still totally slack. Car stops fine. Pulled it back in my garage and decided to go to school on BITOG.
What am I supposed to do?
