Hello.... I have a question aboat brakes and adjusing them. I have an E150 1988 302 EFI V8. I have replaced everything in the drum brakes in the 2 backwheel at my car. Everything went well, and I got everything in the correct position. Inside the drum there are an selfadjusting screw in the bottom. To get everything back together I had to screw this completely together. There are a flywheel on the screw which have an selfadjustment plate which shall turn the selfadjusting screw. So the question: Do I have to adjust this selfadjusting screw after assembled everything to get the brakeband to lay until the drum, or will this adjust itself after some driving? And with other words: Is it to much for the selfadjusting mecanism to take care of so I have to do it manuelly to get the band until the drum or will everything fix itself after some driving? regards... Tor Elling.
