2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission rear adjusters on drum brakes on 97 2500

Hey fellas, is there a kit or parts available to do away with self adjust and do it manually. Spring over star wheel whith wide slots on it? Thanks Tim

I have never heard of anything like that??

They are easily adjustable with the self adjustment blade installed. BTW, in case you don't know. Adjusting the rear shoes is the correct way to adjust the parking brake.

 

[Tim1]

Are you referring to using a spoon to bring the shoes up closer? Thanks Tim

 

[GAmes]

That is what I use, a brake adjustment tool. I suppose you could use a flat screwdriver, but it would be a bit more difficult.

Yes a screwdriver works, but the tool is a LOT easier.

I think Tim wants a manual adjuster assembly like we have on the trailers. Adjust them up and then back off a little, no need to insert a second tool to release the adjuster to back off the brakes.
