I have looked in the service manual and while they do have a few paragraphs on the brake with a photo, it just says to adjust it. The photo shows two adjustment locations id's as parts A,B,C and d but does not reference those lettered parts in the text. My guess is that I need to adjust the nut(s) on the larger vertical threaded rod to increase the brake shoe engagement. Am I guessing right? Thanks for the help!
