Drum Brake Shoes - RWD Models

This adjustment is made only after brake lining replacement or if brake applications are insufficient to actuate automatic adjuster.

Adjust parking brake after service brake adjustment. Remove adjusting hole covers. Insert Adjuster (C-3784) into star wheel and rotate until road wheel turns with slight drag.
Back off star wheel (releasing adjuster lever if equipped) until wheels rotate freely with no drag. Adjustments must be equal on both wheels.

NOTE: On rear wheel drive models with Iso-Clamp rear suspension, bend rod to match angle of adjusting tool plus a 3/4 reverse bend at contact end. See Fig 2.
