Hi all, probably stupid question,
Looking to adjust the rear brake drum that I've rebuilt mainly so I can get the parking brake working again, the brake system isn't all together yet - no master or prop valve in etc.
Anyhow, the brake drums have no hole for adjusting so.. what the f$&@? Do I have the wrong drums? the drums came with the car. Or is there a way to adjust the brakes with the drum off?
I read you can measure the inside diameter of the drum, then wind out the shoes. But they also said you need to do the final adjustment with the shoe on, which I can't do.
Any help would be golden. Apologies if this is an incredibly stupid question.
Cheers!
