Default Re: Adjusting Brakes for a 39 – 41 Ford

Thanks. I read those instructions and compared with another set which said the same except but did not say to apply brake pressure. I did chose to use the other instructions. I'll try it with brake pressure. I cannot set the anchor pin marks facing each other and get the drum on; they must be turned up about 40 degrees. If drilled incorrectly, this would seemed to be an issue. Unfortunately, I gave away the old shoes, so I can't compare. Item six is one of my main issues. I can't back off and free the drum with a "slight" adjustment. This critical point seems to move on me. I know it doesn't seem to make sense, but it is what is confusing me. Thanks for the documentation. I'll try it this morning and report back.
