i have 91 CRX DX with rear drum brake. If i raise the rear wheel off the ground and try to spin with hand, the passenger side has drag. The driver side can move freely. How do I adjust my passenger side? is this adjustable? please help me, i am pretty new to CRX.

Thanks in advance.

 

Are you sure it's the drum brakes? Could just be your wheel bearing or someting is dragging or getting sticky.

hehe ... i m not sure the drag is from the brake. Can the bad wheel bearing cause dragging?

How do I check where is the drag come from? Please advice.

 

put the rear on jackstands. take the wheel off. make sure the parking brake is OFF. you SHOULD be able to just carefully pry the drum straight off. if its giving a fight, then you can help it with some regular 10 or 12mm socket bolts in those holes that have thread, in between the wheel studs.

once theyre off, youll see the star adjuster. notice that it has a one way locking device. you can pry that away to readjust the other way. play with that. it should be self adjusting, however it could use some help.

with the drum off, you can rotate the hub. if you feel any roughness, then it has to be the bearing. thats how you diagnose the bearing.
