I was talking about trying to adjust the rear brakes by repeatedly pulling up on the parking brake lever. Although it can be done on 96-00, it doesn't seem like that method works for 01-02 due to slight differences in the rear drum set up.
Thread talking about the rear brake differences:
Differences in Drum Brakes?
I wasn't aware of this difference until I saw that thread. I always wondered why repeatedly pulling up on my parking brake lever never seemed to adjust my rear brakes which is why I've always made adjustments at the star wheel by removing the drum (or by removing the plug on the backing plate to access the star wheel adjuster). After making adjustments on the star wheel to position the rear shoes to where I can just barely slide the drum back on without too much resistance, I'll double check that I'm in the appropriate range by pulling up on the parking brake to see if I'm in the FSM's recommended 7-9 click range.
