Brake Adjuster: Testing and Inspection
PREPARING
1. Place the vehicle on a frame contact hoist with a helper in the driver's seat to apply the brakes.
2. Raise the vehicle.
3. Remove the adjuster access hole plug, from the rear brake support plate.
NOTE:
^
This will allow access to the star wheel on the automatic adjuster mechanism.
^
To eliminate the possibility of maximum adjustment, insert a small screwdriver through the access hole in the support plate and back off the
adjuster star wheel approximately 10 notches.
^
It will be necessary to hold the adjuster lever away from the star wheel to perform this adjustment procedure.
TESTING STAR ADJUSTER
Fully apply the brake pedal which will cause the brake shoes to leave the anchor.
NOTE:
^
Upon application of the brake pedal, the adjuster lever should move downward, turning the star wheel on the adjuster.
^
A definite rotation of the adjuster star wheel can be observed if the automatic adjuster is working properly.
^
If one or more adjusters do not function properly, the respective brake drum must be removed for servicing of the adjuster mechanism.
