CLEAN AND INSPECT
Wash all brake hardware in clean denatured alcohol. Clean adjusting screw (16) threads with a wire brush. Inspect threads of adjusting screw (16)
for smooth rotation over full length. If any parts are of doubtful strength or quality due to discoloration from heat, over-stress, or are worn, the
parts should be replaced.
