How to adjust the rear brakes on a 1991 Mazda Protege?

I changed its brake shoes but is braking with the pedal too low, almost in the floor. I tried braking suddenly during reverse several times, but nothing happens. I have heard that they are supposed to self-adjust. Im not sure about that.





Thanks!|||Did you bleed the system after replacing the shoes and such? That would explain the low pedal.I recommend getting a shop manual for the car. It is a good investment for the do it yourself mechanic and will pay for itself in money saved.
