Machanics at ford cant get it correct
Hi Johan
jack up the the side you want to work on,now look at the back of the wheel on the dust plate there is or should be a small grommet or rubber bung on the plate, remove this bung and using a torch look inside you should see something that looks like a small cog or gear its a bit awkward to see inside as its a small hole, using a flat head screw driver insert it into the hole where the cog is making sure to get it into the teeth of the cog and push down on the screw driver handle this should rotate the cog and adjust the brake shoes inside the drum, spin the wheel now and then to make sure it is not grabbing if you over adjust it, it will stop the wheel spinning freely, you need to get it so there is a slight drag on the wheel as you spin it, once you have this rotate it in the opposite direction once and that should be perfect for you, and just do the same with the other side.
NOTE if you find nothing is happening, try rotating it in the opposite direction until it starts to grab you will notice this when you spin the wheel.
Hope that help
