Hi Rod Normally rear disc brakes are self adjustable.
To fit pads you normally have to release hand brake adjuster completely. You then wind the piston fully in and fit pads. reconnect hand brake cable (if removed). Then pump brake pedal several times until it becomes firm (brakes now adjusted) you then readjust hand brake (normally 5 to 6 notches). Wheels should spin on 0- on 1-2 should just slightly turn 3 'possible' movement 5-6 locked. Note these numbers are only guides. Hope this is some help Good luck

Adjusting the park brake

back of the handbrake lever where the rear ashtray is remove the screws that hold the centre consol down ,or behind the ashtray is a cover that you pull out exposing the cable adjuster ,best is too look at the rear brakes because if their drum brakes then the auto adjusters need adjusting manualy ,or some models have the handbrake inside the rear disk on brake shoes and they will need manually adjusting

How do i change brake pads on a 2003 dodge

You have air in the brake system and you will have to bleed the brakes.This will take time but if you keep your eye on the fluid level and then open the bleeder screw on one caliper at a time and let about 1 to 2 cups of fluid come out of each side you should get the air out of the system to regain your brakes.

Adjust rear brakes 1995 Nissan Pathfinder 4WD

if they are disk brakes, they are not adjustable. if they are drums they should auto adjust. if they are not, then there is a problem that you have to pull the tire, then the drum, to diagnose it. you may have to disassemble the brake shoes and springs, and clean and lube the self adjusters
