Is this just tediously difficult or am I doing something wrong.
PO installed all cylinders on the wrong side - to tighten the cylinders I would start with the screwdriver angled away from the center of the wheel. I always adjusted with a screwdriver.
I blew a cylinder, and decided to replace all the front cylinders, and correct their orientation. One side effect of mixing up the sides was that the front cylinders were adjusted from the bottom. With the correct orientation I now have to adjust the front most cylinder from the top of the wheel, and between the brake hard lines and the steering linkage I just dont see any easy way of getting in there.
I did purchase a "brake spoon" but its way too big, maybe that would make it easier.
Does anyone have a trick to not making this a crazy difficult process.
Also is there a technique for pre-adjusting before putting the drum back on so that I am not going from all the way loose to all the way tight?
Thanks.
