Drum Brake System: Adjustments

Although the drum brakes are of the self-adjusting type, some adjustments for proper shoe-to-drum clearance may be required when brake shoes have been replaced or drum has been removed for other service. Adequate adjustment may be accomplished by pressing the brake pedal 3 to 10 times with 30 kg (66 lbs.) after all service is completed. Check rear wheels for dragging. After adjustment is completed, road test the vehicle. Testing and Inspection
