take out the gromett. i dont know what way to turn it. i know that one side is opposite of the other. you need to insert a flatblade in there and ratchet the knurled thingie up and down.what i do is raise the back of the vehicle so that i can spin the tire by hand and i tighten up the brake adjusters until i get just a lil bit of bite, then i back it off just a tad.

ya the way i did was use a flathead screwdriver and insert it into a little whole in the drum....make sure it cranks downward and it should tighten it up...keep checking the e brake lever to check on the height u want it
