CF rear drum adjustment

[Gordon]

from my experience the difference here is between 9" rear brakes and 10" rear brakes. 9" rear seems to have square nut adjust and 10" the oval slot and cog setup. Both are documented in the bedford manual.

That makes sense. Cheers for that Jeff.

My rears have the square type too, the thing with these is it's basically a offset square so you only have to turn it within 360 degrees as unlike the cog method it's not doing up a thread.

Do it with the wheel on, jack the van up so wheel is off the ground, turn the square (either way doesn't matter) until the brakes bind, back it off and slowly redo until you feel it just starting to touch.

Note, always end on a tighten turn, not a loosen and adjust handbrake after adjusting the brakes.

oh and make sure the handbrake is off when adjusting brakes Wink

opps im wrong.. just looked under a van here with 9 inch drums are yes it does have a screw adjuster type which you refer to..
