Re: Pressure bleeding

like mr48 says, those newer style drum brakes cheaped out on the inspection and adjustment holes on the backing plates. what I have done on lots of cars is to check where the holes need to be and simply drill a few holes and elongate them to fit the rubber brake adjustment hole plugs available at the parts store for cheap. I make a hole for the adjuster and also one to check the amount of lining left on the rear shoe, it's the one that wears fastest. some backing plates have a mark where the holes should be so it makes it easy to figure out. just be careful where you place the lining check hole so you're not in a spot where the shoes sit against the backing plate
