Can anyone tell me where I should look to adjust the rear drums for the ebreak? I have the repair manual infront of me but it only talks about early models with auto adjust....

SOP for adjusting rear drum brakes/hand brake:

Back off the handbrake (e-brake) adjustment completely, then adjust the rear drums using the adjusters on the backing plate. Unsure what type you have but B110 have a square shaft that you turn to adjust. You need the rear wheels off the deck (use axle stands!! We don't want anyone getting squashed!), adjust the brakes on each side until they just stick and then back it off a touch until the wheel spins free again. Then adjust handbrake until travel is suitably short but not causing the brakes to drag. Job done

Yes, those are the same adjusters as Datsun 1200.
Tighten them as tight as you can get by hand with a little 3" long wrench, then back off to the flat of the adjuster and the wheel will turn free.

Thanks! Was only able to do one side... the other adjuster seems to has seized... Going to use some liquid wrench and see if it comes off.

Yes, they seize up and sometimes cannot be freed. In that case a new or good used one may be obtained.
Let me know if yours cannot be freed up, I have a good used one I can send you.

For the e-brake adjustment, see http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... ake_Adjustment#Hand_Brake
