[s-cars] brake adjusters

[Fred Munro]

Jerry;

On the UrS cars the rear brake adjusters only activate when the emergency
brake is applied. Regular use of the e-brake will keep the rear brake pad
clearances correct and will help keep the e-brake mechanism free. The
mechanism is prone to getting "sticky" if not used, particularly in rust
belt areas.

Does anybody know how the rear brake adjusters work?  Do they adjust when
using the emergency brake or do they adjust when backing the car and
applying the foot brakes?
