Should it be necessary to adjust the Brakes

excluder is fitted
in
the form of
a
rubber tube, and this tube is mounted on
what is actually the locknut for this adjustment.
By undoing this locknut the cable stop can he adjusted on its thread by
the amount requircd and the locknut re-tightened.
The whole of the hrake cross shaft is luhricated from the dashwall
nipples, and in order to give perfect freedom for the rotation of the cross shaft,
it
is mounted at one end on what are termed needle bearings. These are
shown in Illustration No.

Should it ever become necessary to remove
the cross shaft,
if
care is exercised the entire bush of the needle bearings need
not be removed. To re-assemble the needle bearing the inner shaft should
be covered with grease
and the hearings irnbedded in it when it will be found
that they will stop in position in order that they can be inserted inside
the
cable operating pulley.
The front and rear brake drums of the Car are identical in design.
It
is
necessary from time to time to remove the brake drums in order to clean out
the brakes or have them re-lined.
