Hey guys

just got all new brake pads and shoes for my sierra, and the next day after picking it up from the shop, I drove to ballarat, witch is a good hour away from my place, and while driving there I noticed I wasnt going as fast as I should be

When I got to the job site, I could smell burning brakes so I stuck my head at all 4 wheels to smell, fronts were fine but the rears were burning hot,

Really hot you could feel the heat from them just by standing next to the wheel,

So whats my problem ? Oh and I just got a new brake mater aswell

Or rather, not adjusted back out after having very little pad left.
