take the brake drums off and turn the nut in the centre it looks like a ring with teeth on if u turn it down the shoes will move closer or the other way which ever makes it move further apart but not too far remember the drums must be able to go on and cover it then b4 u put the wheel bk turn the drum if it turns and stops imm. then its fine repeat the process on thr other wheel(rear wheels only)if it does not turn at all but push hey then u need to set it down slightly
