Default Brake Clicking issue

Just bought my 95' sedan, the rear shoes are clicking. I'v worked on more disc setups then drum.
Does anyone have a direct answer for this? I was thinking just replacing hardware/shoes and adjusting..

Or does anyone have a link to a disc swap setup or know how hard it is

How about take the drums off and inspect them?

I had this happen right after I bought my 95 EX. It just ended up being some sort of clip that wasn't installed correctly. Took the mechanic about 10 minutes to fix. Never rattled again.

P.S. this was almost 10 years ago, I don't remember the details very well. but the guy fixed it for free since it was such a easy issue.

Default drum/shoe adjuster question

So I found out the clicking was due to being out of adjustment,
So I adjusted them... evenly and now they're starting to get thrown out of wack again, is this a common problem with these cars? (92-95s)
Anyone suggest a LITTLE loc-tite on the adjuster?

In the future just post in the original thread you start so we can have any and all details (https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3153406) instead of starting a new one. But no do not put loc-tite on them as they are self adjusting. Whenever servicing the back brakes all you should need to do is pump the brakes with the car running to set the self adjusters. You also may need to adjust the parking brake as well.

yay post count boost

anyways. The adjusters keep going out of adjustment after you drive it a few 100 miles.. then pulls to one side and clicks ultimately.
