Fig. 5 Parking brake adjustment:

The hydraulic drum brakes, Fig. 4, are self-adjusting and require a manual adjustment only after brake shoes have been replaced. The adjustment is made as follows:
1. Using tool No. 11-0001 on 1982 models, or tool No. D81L-1103-A on except 1982 models, determine inside diameter of brake drum, Fig. 5.
2. Reverse tool and adjust brake shoes to fit the gauge. Hold automatic adjusting lever out of engagement while rotating adjusting screw, to prevent burring slots in screw.
