Probably the front Arm may need to be leaned more to the front, may be 5% now, not 15. ABACHMAN what is PILLS? where do they go? I did disconnect the brake rod at that arm point. There was all play in the arm until I moved in from Forward position to about 5% almost straight up. Then and only then could I adjust the brake adjusting wedge from all the way in, back to half way as all the other wheels are. The adj Wedge was all the way in and no breaks. Moved the arm back to almost straight and could get the wheel to lock with the wedge adjuster. Guess I have to go back there again and move the arm back down to 15 % But how do I make the brakes catch at that point?
