Skylark V6-3100 3.1L VIN M SFI (1996)
Fig. 6 Backing Off Brake Shoe Adjustment.
In as much as there is no way to adjust these brakes with the drums installed, the following procedure is mandatory after new linings are installed, or it
becomes necessary to change the length of the brake shoe adjusting screw.
1. With brake drums removed, position the caliper shown in Fig. 4, to the inside diameter of the drum, then tighten the clamp screw.
2. Next position brake shoe end of the caliper tool over the brake shoes as shown in Fig. 5.
3. Rotate the gauge slightly around the shoes to ensure the gauge contacts the linings at the largest diameter.
4. Adjust brake shoes until the gauge is a snug fit on the linings at the point of largest lining diameter. If it is necessary to back off the brake shoe
adjustment, it will be necessary to hold the adjuster lever away from the adjuster screw, Fig. 6.
