Rotated tires and adjusted rear brakes today PICS
I decided to rotate the tires today after 7,600miles on the clock. I have the factory Goodyear Eagles with a treadwear of 360. I went front to back when rotating. Used floor jacks, two at once.
Decided to adjust the rears while I was at it, they both seemed a bit loose and the handbrake lever was going up real high when pulled. Blew off all the dust with compressed air, which is NOT a good idea because the dust that comes off is nasty! Lots of dust came off though. I then adjusted each star wheel 12 "clicks" on each side. I do it from the front, not from the hole in the rear of the drums backing plate. This way I can see exactly what's happening and go little by little. The driver's rear drum was already seized on, but I did get it off carefully. The handbrake does'nt pull up as high anymore. Seems like self adjusting brakes don't do a very good job of adjusting themselves.... |
