Rear Drum Brake Adjustment (Chevrolet Aveo T250)

The clearance in the rear brake pads is self-adjusting. As the brake pads wear, the adjustment mechanism increases the clearance of the working stroke of the pads (when increasing the stroke of the brake pads, the stroke of the spring of the adjusting mechanism, it is enough to turn the adjusting nut by one tooth) turns the toothed adjusting nut an angle sufficient to restore the correct clearance.

When installing the brake drum, the length of the adjusting spacer must be set so that the brake shoes do not interfere with the installation of the brake drum.

To adjust the clearance between the pads and the drum, you should activate the adjustment mechanism by pressing the brake pedal a sufficient number of times (at least 10 times), until the sound of the adjusting spring oscillating on the adjusting nut stops.

After adjusting the rear drum brake, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the parking brake cable.
