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.

Ok. So I went under and looked at the back side of the wheels. My backing plates have two rubber plugs. I was going to remove them and look inside reference adjusting later, but while under there I found something else. Three of my four drums have grease leaking out of the bottoms onto the tire. I guess my seals are bad and now I have grease inside the drums. Wheels or drums have never been removed. Bought new February 2017. Has 2 year warranty. Need to find out now if that will be covered. No sense trying to adjust at this point.
Are these 'EZ-Lube' axles (external zerk fitting one uses to pump grease in)?
Over pump..blow seals...new brakes required
Feb 2017 started the 2 year warranty clock (date of purchase)
So YES they should be covered.
Drums can be cleaned up, Shoes need replaced, bearings S/B OK but need inspected.
Good luck!
