brakes not holding rear tires

I adjusted my brakes and omg my brakes feel amazing! My shoes are a little low on life but they were still in okay shape as well as my wheel cylinders. I will just assume the self adjusters were no good as they looked rusty and useless IMO. Went for a test drive after I adjusted and I was able to lock up 33's no problem, i tested how it feels under harder braking and normal braking and no lock up issues so it looks like problem solved! I dont see a point in replacing other parts as I have a feeling when these shoes are done I wille going to discs.

if you stay with drum brakes for a while, be sure to unscrew the self adjusters into two pieces. apply a good HIGH TEMP grease or high temp anti sieze to the threads of the self adjusters. this may help them stay halfway functional for a little while.

I had little to no luck with my drum brakes so I switched to disks earlier this year. the difference is amazing

Will do! So the adjuster levers tend to loosen then or is it the fact the shoes will continue to wear?
