Rear brakes I can hardly adjust they are adjusted all the way in.

Front brakes are adjusted all the way out.

Yep I do understand that the shoes are a bit different and that the adjusters for the front and rear are different.

Anyone remember which ones go where. Long shank in rear or front? Are the saddles they ride in different heights front and rear?
 
Sorry Jack, can't remember. I haven't had to deal with front shoe adjustment since I went to discs (prob. 10 yrs ago)!

Click to expand...

You also have two cyl.s in front vs. one in the back!!!
 
Ok, let me say further, I have new drumbs and shoes and cylinders.

I know the front and back adjusters are different, is one higher than the other?
 
Don't remember an adjuster in the front just two cylinders per side.... I'll have to check.
 
One adjuster for each cylinder. Two each side front, one each side rear.
 
Well, Jack, the next question is do you have four that look similar and two that look different?
 
Gona have to pull the drums and check. rear are different I know.
