Re: Brake question????

IF no hole, adjust the brakes till you can't turn the back wheel/drum, then loosen it just enough so you can turn it by hand. You will need to repeat that after a few weeks of driving as the shoes seat in. Your self adjusters should adjust when you back up applying the brakes~~. Your parking brake should start to hold when 1/2 applied and lock tight before the pb pedal is fully depressed. The brakes on these old trucks can be a PITA to bleed due to the proportioning valve. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem to you~~. Huck
