When do brake self adjusters "adjust"?
Stupid question, on an 09' ranger with rear drums... do the self adjusters "adjust" when the parking brake is applied, or when hitting the brakes in reverse?

Emergency brake moves a lever which turns the star wheel which spreads out the pads. If the pads are already tight the lever just skips over the teeth on the star wheel.
