SILVER Star
Anybody in camp a drum brake expert? Rebuilt mine last week and they are over adjusting themselves. Sitting here with one side torn apart and scratching my head.
I understand the hand brake is supposed to adjust the slop out of the brakes via the ratcheting star wheel. It’s only supposed to adjust them so far, but it’s adjusting mine beyond that. I can manually back them off via the star wheel and have good brakes as long as I don’t touch the hand brake - but I’ll need the hand brake on trails. As of now I can’t use it or else the brakes start dragging.
If anybody knows this stuff well and has nothing better to do … feel free to come take a look.
You and @Kleatus oughtta confer, as you're suffering a similar issue. He had his apart again recently - hopefully he found the silver bullet.
