Brakes
Is there a way to tell if you have self adjusting brakes without having to remove the drum? I think mine need adjusting. Just wondering before I manually adjust them.

Backside of drum at bottom is rubber plug(s)
Use strong pin point flash light beam to look inside
Star Wheel for adjustments
IF self adjusting there will be a 'plate' that is attached to a cable ...plate engages star wheel---moving it when brakes are applied (braking when going forward)
You will have to push the plate away/disengage it from star wheel in order to manually move star wheel
No plate...then brakes are non-self adjusting
