Hey guys. I am replacing the rear drum brakes on my quest. In my repair book, it tells me to adjust the star adjuster until the brakes drag on the drum a bit when it's turned, and then move the star out again so that the drum turns freely. Is that right? Why adjust the brakes out, and then in?
Also, when rotating the drum to determine if the brakes are dragging .. do you adjust the brake until the drum is hard to turn, or when you just barely feel the brake grabbing the drum? Thanks in advance .. this is my first drum replacement in ages (and the original drum replacement I did on my 70 chevy was much easier to do)...
