Help!!!
I've been working on adjusting the brakes on my 17, and they have me stumped. I have made the adjustments according to the maintenance manual with about 5 thou clearance between the brake band and the drum and I have no brake pedal.The manual says there should be a clearance of about the thickness of a business card. Which is about 8 to 10 thou. If I adjust the bands up to were I have more pedal, the bands drag on the drums, and they get hot. What am I doing wrong?
Any Ideas much appreciated.
