How do you back off brake adjuster?

To back off a brake adjuster, first locate the adjuster mechanism, usually found at the rear of the brake assembly or inside the drum. Use a brake adjuster tool or a flathead screwdriver to turn the adjuster in the opposite direction of tightening, which is typically counterclockwise. Turn it until there is a slight gap between the brake shoes and the drum, ensuring they can move freely without dragging. Always check the brake operation after adjusting to ensure proper function.
