adjuster arm hole lines up with the clevis hole (see
Figure 8-52).
5. Install the clevis pin without the cotter pin at this time.

Most adjusters will be equipped with an installation
indicator which must fall within the slot for proper
installation. Incorrect control arm position can cause tight
or dragging brakes.
6. Rotate the control arm counterclockwise towards the air
chamber until it comes to a definite internal stop. If
necessary, use a plastic mallet to tap the control arm into
position (see Figure 8-53).
