On the cars I've had in the past you adjusted the rear brakes by backing up and tapping the brake pedal. Is this the same method to use with a 2008 Yaris LB? I was told recently that there's another method, setting the parking brake with the brake pedal depressed.

I searched this forum and the internet for the answer to this with no success, so if anyone has a link it will be greatly appreciated. I've only had the car since late January and it didn't come with an owner's manual.

I tried all that too, and called a big Bravo Sierra here on the forum about it. It very well may work that way, it didn't for me.

I finally removed the drums and adjusted the pads that way.
