Years ago a friend of mine told me you are at the right tension when, you hand spin the tire with yours hands for one revolution of the tire. Seems to make sense. Also the brake drum will get way too hot if there is too much tension when you go for a drive.
@mannymmv : Maybe torture the backyard hack, but not a professional mechanic. If a mechanic cannot replace a set of brake shoes, or finds replacing them difficult.. then he or she has no hope in the automotive trade. Nothing with the brake shoe setup.. it's reliable, easy to maintain, and cheaper in the long run. Id rather a large set of rear shoes, than some tiny biscuit shaped rear pads to stop my vehicle!
@malelee21 : Yes, that's right. Just when you start to get some resistance when spinning the drum forward means the adjustment is OK. Keep both sides even, and adjust at cable if the handbrake lever travels too far.
he is working on a 1989 honda accord lx-i . you can tell by the rims. i put 236,000 miles on mine before trading it in for a new 2001 ...

Fuck, who else cringed when he ran his finger around the scored drum? Nice way to get a shit load of metal splinters!
