The Chevy manual says to tighten the shoes until they just begin to rub the inside of the drum, then back off the adjustment a set number of cliks or flats of the adjusting bolt. Is this correct? On other vehicles I've always tightened the shoes until the drum won't turn, then backed off the adjustment.
Do the Huck brakes need more clearance than a conventional set up?
Thanks, Jim

I back off until the drag in minimal. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I've followed the manual as stated for my GMC 1 ton and that worked great.
Also as mentioned you may need to adjust a little more if they drag. Good to check the drums for heat after a drive (not much stopping) and adjust any that are warm. | | |
