how do you adjust the rear brakes on a 97 tahoe?
the only ports in the backing plates are on the sides at approx 2 o'clock & 10 o'clock.

you can try messing around with it that way but i suggest taking off the drums and tightening the adjuster manually. you should never just tighten it you never know what condition the shoes are in.

adjust untill slight drag on wheel.
