Brakes
Check the operation of the bra kes and , if necessary, adjust as follows:
Front brakes: Apply the handbrake, jack up one front wheel until it is free
to revolve. Spin the wheel in a for ward direction
and
apply the foot -brake
firmly to centralize the shoes in the drum. Remove the wheel cap, extract the
rubber dust sealing plug from the adjuster hole in the wheel and align the hole
with the screwdriver slot on one wheel cylinder. Insert a screwdriver and turn
in a clockwise direction until the
brake
shoe bears h
ard
against the drum. Back
off the adjustment the least possible amount (usually two or three clicks) until
the wheel is free to revolve. Repeat these operations at the other wheel cylinder.
Replace the wheel cap. Adjust the opposite front brakes in a similar manne r.
Rear brakes: Place chocks under the front wheels, release the handbrake and
jack up one rear wheel until it is free to revolve. Remove the wheel cap and
proceed as for the front brakes, but, as there is only one adjusting point for
both shoes, the adjuster must he
turned
until one shoe bears against the dru m,
then cont inue turning until both shoes bear hard. Back off the adj ustment the
least possible amo
unt
until the wheel can be revolved freely (the amount of
backing off may be slightly
more
than was needed for the f
ront
brakes). Replace
the wheel cap . Adj ust the opposite rear wheel brakes in a similar manner.
