Could anyone give me step by step instructions, or point me to a website on adjusting trailer breaks? I know it's a simple job but need some help the first time. Thanks.
As I recall, lift the wheel off the ground so it spins. Using a brake adjusting tool in the slot on the back bottom of the brake plate, turn the star wheel (while slowly spinning the wheel by hand) until you just start to hear the brake shoes hitting the drum. Then back off the star wheel until the rubbing goes away.

Thanks. Looks like "a piece of cake". I'm guessing turning the star wheel either up or down will quickly tell me which direction is tightening/loosening.
