Someone pissed in your cereal, I am sorry that happened but I wasnt the one to piss in it. I read the reply you replied to as a general opinion about JB5 and that you were replying that in a good condition JB5 which is getting routine maintenance, you would say go and take drums off and get them adjusted.,
From my view, I was thinking why would you do that if you have kept your JB5 in good condition and do what you are supposed to do (Use the brake, stops in reverse)
It was a misunderstanding, and Im sorry that I did so. I will make myself scarce, I apologize for having said anything.
@AuroraGirl, nothing bad intended!
I value your posts!
What you said was fine and good, as you explained (above). I didn't understand it that way the first time... I was too hurried, my bad.
I'm serious about the instructions though, assuming now that the brakes are "WAY out of adjustment".
Would it be possible to bring them back into adjustment if he:
- apply it once while stopped, and release?
- apply it and roll forward against it, and release?
- apply it and roll backward, and release?
- how does he know if adjustment took place?
- apply the above steps multiple times?
OP would benefit from details, if this details can be provided.
Even if the 10" brakes are already in adjustment, which steps are needed to keep them in adjustment when using the parking brake?
(edit) Some details about the JB5 rear brakes attached, from 1998 FSM. Notice that I don't understand how the adjustment works on the leading-trailing 10" brakes, so I haven't been able to give any direction.
