some advice needed. Brake pedal travel a bit too much so I put new pads in the front (110 1985 12j). Same as before now thinking rear shoes, question is can I adjust the rears up and how? have found two things that look like adjustors. Also wondering could air have got into the system? any thoughts wellcome as an avenue to explore, got to sort it out before a week friday.

manual adjusters, wind up until you can't move drum and then back off till free

May be worth checking your shoes still have some lining on the too

Cheers Dude, they are tight solid so I will as you say check the shoes. I been worrying about vacuums and cylinders and all sorts of **** but a bit of common sense is what is needed and some wd40 hopefully.

Had this on my 1986 110, it needed new shoes on the back. Brake pedal travel is fine now.

On this subject my adjusters are a bit worn on 91 110. Does anyone know if its possible to replace them without replacing back plate?

I have sorted mine out and it wil stop on a six pence. I can tell you that if the adjustors snap you are buggered and need a new backing plate but if not snapped you can get replacements. Type snail adjustors into the search engine and you will find a set.
