Auto Adjust Brakes
Wondered if after packing the wheel bearings, does anyone suggest that you manually adjust the brake shoes?

Are the brakes self-adjusting or only manual adjusting?

They should be auto adjusting and do not need further adjusting after the initial adjusting when first installed. I never had to adjust later on when doing a brake check and bearing pack as they were already adjusted before pulling the hub/drum. If you ever have to replace a brake backing plate assembly, make very sure you install the correct left or right backing plate assembly on the correct end of the axles as they will not work backwards, and these brakes are forward adjusting not backwards adjusting like old automobile brakes were.
