How do you adjust brakes on 1971 El Camino?

To adjust the brakes on a 1971 El Camino, start by lifting the vehicle and removing the wheels. For drum brakes, locate the adjustment wheel through the access hole on the backing plate and turn it until the shoes lightly contact the drum. For disc brakes, ensure the caliper is properly aligned and the pads are seated; adjust the push rod if necessary. Finally, pump the brake pedal to ensure proper engagement before lowering the vehicle and testing the brakes.
