If you look at the rear beam on the drives side there is a bracket wiht a bolt through it, this hold a spirng which connects to the bias adjuster, 2 13mm spaner to undo it and then slide it so thespring goes slack, then y9ou need to put somethign under the adjuster arm to stop it gettign pushed back up. | |

is your car lowered??cause when the corsa is lowered u need to get the brake bias valve recalibrated as the valve thinks there is weight in the rear,therefore the rear brakes harder than the front,causing the car to step out at the rear. | |

do you just have to adjust the shoes then if one is closer to than other? | |

also make sure to free the autoadjuster on the drums at the bakc then have to pump away till the drums shoes are flush to the drum, if one side is closeer than the other you can get an imbalance | |

Daimo, do you mean you pull the bias valve up or down? Because the more load in the boot, the more the rear brakes. I thought yo uare meant to put the bias valve out as much as possible? | |

when i brake i keep loosing the rear end, mostly goes out to the left, would that be becouse my right drum is applying more pressure or the left shoes are worn and causing the rear to slide out to the left? |
