Does backing up adjust the rear brakes? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I am not able to my the starwheel on the self-adjuster. On both sides. And it really seems some adjustment needs to be done - the drum is too loose.
What to do? Take the adjuster out, clean it up with detergent and apply brake lube into it?

These are about $4.00 each at Rock Auto. However, I just took mine out and cleaned and lubed them like you are suggesting and they work fine.

Thanks 06YarisRS for the tip, the RockAuto actually seems as an interesting shop! Two adjusters plus shipping (I am from Czech Republic) and the total cost is 23 USD. If I buy them from Czech local shop then the pair would cost me 50 USD without any shipping! What a ripoff.
I have never heard of those brands though - Raybestos, Acdelco, Dorman... They are not available here in CZ but maybe they are OK? The only self-adjuster available here is HerthBuss Jakoparts.
