ply33 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Do you have the rear end jacked up off the floor and the parking brake off? There will be more friction and momentum than the front wheels because you are turning both wheels and/or the drive shaft, but it should be the same procedure as for the front wheels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Adjusting the rears made me crazy. I couldn’t tell where I was in respect of in or out? Finally took off both drums to get it right. Took my time, read 2 different publications regarding adjusting and nailed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panelbeater1234 Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Finely got it i was working on the right rear and then slackened off the 4 adjusters and put the hub back on .Then went to the left rear and removed the wheel slackened off the adjusters and removed the hub Went back to the right rear and low and behold i can spin quiet Easey now and carry out the adjustments .What i found very important is the fact that i should have 2 weeks push down on the brake pedal as i have found the brake cylinders have become stuck and a lot of contamination coming from them there is a lessen to keep the cups moving haven't used the care for a year .Run the motor periodically and that's good thanks for answering my problem Regards john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rata Road Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 This tool is a must for setting up brakes of this era. I've found they need to adjusted top and bottom to achieve a frim high pedal. Ammco 1750 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Part of the problem in adjusting might be that the shoes have not been arced/fitted to the drums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
