Assemble the adjuster, making sure it is the correct one for the assembly you are working on.
Installing the adjuster onto the wrong assembly will cause loss of brakes when the automatic adjuster
operates.
Note: The adjusting screw and lever are stamped either "R" or "L" for right or left. The right pivot nut has 2
machined identification lines, the left nut one.
Screw the adjusting screw all the way into the pivot nut, then back it off% turn. Install the socket on the end of
the screw. Install adjuster between shoes with screw toward secondary shoe.
Attach the cable to the adjusting lever, and engage the hook on the lever in the hole in the secondary shoe.
Connect the adjuster spring.
Checking the adjuster action
Pull the cable {between the guide and the adjuster lever) toward the secondary shoe far enough to lift the adjuster
out of engagement with the notches in the adjuster screw.
Release the cable. The adjuster lever should engage the next notch in the screw, and the adjuster spring should
pull the lever down to its original position, turning the screw one notch.
Checking the Rear Brake Drum
Check the rear brake drum for pitting, damage, or out-of -round condition. If necessary, have the drum turned.
When the brake drum inner diameter reaches the maximum allowable (11.09"), replace the brake drum to
avoid loss of braking action!
