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.

Look at the back-plate:
If there is an oblong rubber bung at the bottom than it's probably manual adjustment.
I adjust mine once a year by going to a large school parking lot, move forward at ~25mph and engage the the manual controller. I slowly back up and engage the controller again, move forward and do it again. I keep doing this until I notice no change, usually 3 or 4 times.
