jack the wheels up off the ground, get to the back side of the drum. there is a plastic plug on the bottome. remove it. then take a long flat screw driver and turn the fly wheel you see the direction you want to go... right to tighten and left to loosten. then turn the wheel. it should make one revolution and come to a stop. then you are good... the more I think about it the more I think its not the breaks in my case as we did 1600 miles any rub would be fine by now and it was never that tight to hear so.
