Can you not adjust that once the brake assembly is back together?

 

I'm not sure....I'll check in the morning.

 

Is that brake fluid all over the place? Did the wheel cyclinder explode? Is it leaking?

 

Yes, took me hours to clean everything....both side .......Now I can't put everything together...I need to figure out how to install this automatic adjuster

 

First rule of drum brakes, do one side at a time so you have one to use as a diagram.

Do you have a "u pull it" parts place nearby? You could pull a drum off and see the assembled version.

 

I finally managed to install the automatic adjuster ....:thumbsup:

 

Do you remember how to set the adjuster???
