Drum Brake Shoes
NOTE:
This adjustment is made only after brake lining replacement or if brake applications are insufficient to actuate automatic adjuster.
- On models with 7" brakes, pivot the adjuster quadrant until it meshes with knurled pin and is in the 3rd or 4th notch of outboard end of quadrant. Install drum and wheel and adjust wheel bearings. See appropriate article in the SUSPENSION Section.
- On all models, complete adjustment by applying brakes several times while backing vehicle, with forward movement after each application. Use a minimum 50 lbs. (22 kg) pressure on non-power brakes and 25 lbs. (11 kg) on power brakes.
