whats the torque specs and how to adjust drum brakes
What is the torque spec for the lug nuts on my 1995 civic dx?
also im replacing the drums and pads in the back. how do i adjust them correctly. and know when they are the right adjustments. if i rember correctlky from auto shop shouldnt i only be able to spin the tire and see if it can spin a few times. then stop from the pads lightly touching.

Re: (BrianCivicDX)
hey just did mine today, yes they should touch a LITTLE
if you need to adjust the shoes (thats whats in the drums) there is a little gear that you can turn with a flathead. it adjusts the spring and pulls the shoes in or out.
so basically, put shoes on, test by spinning wheel, if its too tight, loosen them. too loose just tighten it.
after all is done ADJUST YOUR EBRAKE!!!
mine doesnt work at all right now
