Subject:forgot to loosen the parking brake adjuster

Hello all,

Rather than tire talk, I'm feeling a brake discussion.  ;)

I replaced my rear shoes, drums and cylinders on my 1991 Gl.  I forgot to
loosen the parking brake adjuster.  At this point, I have no parking brake
as it pulls the full way up.  I assume I could loosen it, pull the drum,
and adjust to spec.  Does that sound right...?
