well brakes finally fixed, there was no need to buy new pads and cables as i just didnt know how to adjust shoes properly

took it to a buddy and he showed a little trick that everyone forgot to mention, you are supposed to adjust shoes after drum is already on through that little hole on drum

after 1 year mystery is finally solved

I thought that was for use with manual adjuster shoes. Can the the automatic adjuster be adjusted through that hole too. Would like to know if this is the case so I can adjust mine so that the braking will be fully balanced, i.e. 3 clicks both 100%.

it can be adjusted, get a flashlight and you just need to push shoes more apart after drum is back on

adjust them 1 click at a time

you are supposed to stick screwdriver where arrows are pointing and push apart till you hear a click

shoes in one picture are already pushed all the way
