Drum Brakes
So I've got my pass. side rear brake binding up. Gets really hot, and I think it's giving me my wobble issue. The ebrake line going to that drum is not releasing. I've been looking through the haynes, but it's a bit confusing. As far as the adjustment goes. Any tips on taking this off? the shoes are definitely expanded so it may be a major PIA. I'm going to mess with that adjustment, then I dunno, try to pry it off I guess. Anything common to look for with the ebrake issue in there?
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

There is a hole on the back side of the brakes get two small screw drivers and stick one through the and hold up the little lever and with the other loosen the adjustment wheel. hope this helps.

you should only be able to turn it one way since there won't be any room for the shoe to expand. Pretty sure you'll want to turn it up, looking at it from behind the break plate.
