I got my 55 2nd over to Sweden now and the brakes were rebuilt with new parts before i bought it.
At registraion inpection i got remarks for uneven function up front and i tried to adjust according to the manual but still the left front is too weak.
The adjuster moves easily and i can adjust it to "light drag" and then back off the 7 steps.
I guess i have to lift the drum off and have a look...
Any suggestions anyone? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 893 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 893 | Back off less steps (make sure it isn't dragging), and see what happens.

react differently on the two sides. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 9 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 9 | I still having problems with the front brakes being weak on the left side.
Going to take off the drums and shoes and have them checked and possibly recut the drums and then have the shoes grinded to the correct radius.
If that doesn't get the job done i'm kind of lost...
