hi,

i'm in the process of rebuilding the brake system on my '54 3/4 ton.

on the top of the backing plate, near the wheel cylender, there is a pin that the top of each pad rests against. it is held in place by a large nut (5/8 or so). the pin is on an ecentric and can be adjusted and set by the nut. what is this adjustment for?

thank you.

That's the anchor pin and it can be adjusted to center the shoes in the drum.
Here's the procedure.
