You can adjust the shoes outward on the rear by removing the wheels and drums, then above the axle but below the wheel cylinder you will see an arm that is horizontal, pushing both of the shoes outwards. There should be an adjustment nut that you can turn to extend the arm to push the shoes out.

SOURCE: 95 G20 Chevy van: ABS light stays on, pulls right when braking

im guessing you have a problem with one of the abs sensors...probably the front-left wheel sensor. the way they work is they detect when a tire is locking up faster then the others when the brakes are applied. if a tire locks, then the brakes on that tire are quickly released then re-applied, all in a very short amount of time. the sensor may be defective, and sending the cars computer a false signal, making the brakes on that side release a bit, while maintaining normal braking on the opposite side. thats most likely whats making your car pull. also, the abs light will only come on when there is an electrical problem with the abs system. so make sure todo a visual inspection of the wires for the sensors as well.
