well I jacked one side up and took my drum off again and sucked the adjuster in quite a ways then put everything back on and while spinning the wheel I tightened the adjuster from the backing plate...maybe I didnt get it far enough this time because my BRAKE and ABS light are both on and staying on and my pedal is very soft...but my drum was still pretty hot??? I watched my brakes as my brother pushed on the brake and emergency brake and everything moved fine it looked like

I tore into the rear driver side of my truck, needed to replace the wheel seal...once I got everything off I was looking around at my drum brake assembly thinking I needed to take everything off, I screwed the adjuster all the way in and found out that I dont have to take it all off...once I got everything back together I drove around for 10 min at 50 mph and then checked to make sure everything was ok, my driver side drum (side I tore into) was alot hotter than the passenger side...If I jack my wheel off the ground I can get about the same amount of spin as the other side but only my drivers side is getting warm...I know the adjuster is probably not back in the same spot because my brakes are really tight and my I dont have to push in much for my parking brake to work...I have never done brakes before...should I just keep slowly loosing the adjuster though the port in the backUpdate : I took off my passenger side drum and counted the threads on the adjuster and made the drivers side the same but it still gets warm the brakes seem ok but my parking brake wont hold nothing, the axle housing and rear backing plate are all normal temperature so I dont think its my bearings
