Hey guys,

Does anyone have a quick reference on how to adjust the emergency brake? any assistance will be greatly appreciated as i will be overhauling the brakes soon and will be taking a look at the emergency brake during this process.

Regards, Brenton.

take the cover off the emergency brake handle and turn the easy-to-reach portion of the nut.

to adjust the e brake you first must adjust the shoes.
to do that remove the wheels and turn the star adjusters till the wheel locks then back off 3 clicks ,

set the handle and release it,
make sure the wheel spins free.

then remove the E brake handle cover and adjust the cable,
you want 3 clicks on the handle to set the brake
