hubs...  I need either an owners manual or a faq or somebody to tell
me the ins and outs so I don't screw it up!
My assumptions are:  you stop, put in neutral, go rotate the hubs from

So the question is: how do you adjust the brake shoes on the rear drum
brakes of the 2003 Matrix? I've heard (and read) everythineg from
driving in reverse, applying the parking break to "you just have to set
them manually".

This story finally showed up locally today, although it seems to have
been "broken" on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. At first I assumed
the lady was a UAW plant, but she worked at NUMI for 23 years. Seems
like a long time for a "spy" to wait around.
