Jun 29, 2020 · Its time to replace the rear drum brakes on my 2013 Tacoma 4wd. I am wanting to replace the shoes and drums, and possibly the wheel cylinders.

Apr 1, 2009 · I have 110,000 miles on my 2006, original pads/shoes on the rear drums. I hear a squeaking sometimes from what sounds like the right rear when I take off and it goes away when I get up to speed, or if I apply my brakes.

Apr 13, 2008 · Prior to doing a rear brake drum overhaul I thought I would try and adjust the rear brakes to see if it improved things. I have never worked on drums before, but learned about the maintenance and adjusting through reading olds posts and the FAQ. I have late model 40 disk conversion up front and stock drums in back.

Feb 2, 2015 · Half of the posts here say the rear drum brakes will self-adjust when reversing and braking, the other half says it only adjusts when using the parking brake. I found this old video of a guy explaining how it works on the 4runner.
