I'm pretty confident regarding the pistons on the front brake calipers, as I replaced everything back in April. However, I am intrigued about using the emergency brake to adjust the rear shoes. Is that the same procedure that this guys is doing in the video or can you elaborate upon the procedure more? Thank You.
