1. Release the parking brake.
2. Place a .025" feeler gauge (A, Figure 3) between the
two outer brake stators (refer to inset illustration).
The gap should be between .025"–.030". To adjust:
a. Remove cotter pin from castellated nut (B) if pre-
sent.
b. To decrease gap, hold feeler gauge in gap and turn
nut (B) clockwise until resistance is felt on the feel-
er gauge. To increase gap, turn axle nut (B)
counter-clockwise and recheck gap.
c. If cotter pin was removed, back off nut (counter-
clockwise) until the nearest slot is aligned with hole
in threads. Replace cotter pin.
