How to adjust the rear brake’s in a truck?
The best way to adjust the rear brake’s is to put the truck in neutral have only one rear drum on at time and adjust the rear shoes up till you hear a light scraping sound from the shoes rubbing on the drums. Then take the drum off and do the other side. If the pedal still is low and the pedal does fell right then bleed it.

What are the brakes on a GMC Sierra?
Hey all, I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 4×4. I recently changed the rear brakes, since changing them the brake pedal seems “soft” and the e-brake doesnt grab like it used to. A friend of mine said the rear brakes are self adjusting but its been a few days and still the same. Any info. will be greatly appreciated.
