Re: adjusting brakes

No. Disc brakes are self adjusting because the piston in the caliper moves out as the brake pads wear. That is why you have to push the piston back into the caliper when you replace worn pads with new thicker pads. Your self adjusters won't automatically adjust the rear shoes to proper adjustment.
