Up date !!! Frozen brake adjuster
 

I have read several people say get back to the board in what you find. I had originally wrote some incorrect findings so here I am with the facts below.
I had updated the original post but the title never changed so I thought I would just start a new thread.


To All,
Well we took the whole right rear wheel assembly apart, all the way down to taking the backer plate off the rear end. The one thing we found wrong was the REAR CAM WAS PUT IN WRONG which is Item 32 in Brattons Assembly Diagram. We had TURNED it 180 degrees from the way it should have been. Because it was installed incorrectly when the brakes were applied with maximum force the CAM came right out of the rollers. So the brake shoes at the cam end could not retract and therefore were rubbing against the drum. The rear cam (for those of you that don't know) goes thru the Rear Brake Cam Shaft Item 31 and separates the shoes when steeping on the brake. Took it for a ride yesterday and all is well!!

Hope this helps someone!

Are you referring to the brake wedge that screws in and out to adjust the brake shoes?

wingski - NO If you have a Brattons catalog have a look at their assembly diagram. The part I'm talking about is Item 32 called the rear cam which goes into Item 31 which called the rear cam shaft.

Hope that helps.

the rear brake cam is another example of quality rouge steel,a file bounces on it..
