rear brake puzzle

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
As Oddjob knows it used to be a common workshop "fix" to move the arm a spline when no adjustment left but still material on shoes you just had to remember to move it back when new shoes were fitted! Have you fitted new?

Bryanj:
Yes Ken, even remember filing a spline out of the arm so it could be moved two, only on mine of course never a customers!

Oddjob - there is a mark on the spline shaft but not one on the brake arm , maybe a replacement arm from PO but not the first time I've removed it and was ok previously, just one of those small things, think I'll punch on a mark for next time!

Bryanj:
