Default Re: 1931 Wheel Bearings and Brakes

Yes, I do have the red book, and I recall reading about brake adjustment several weeks before I purchased the car (and it sounded complicated, at least to someone who has never adjusted Model A brakes before). However, I couldn’t find what I needed in the book when I had the wheel off the car, and I didn’t want to end up with a snowball of repairs that would keep me from driving the car for an extended amount of time. (Wow, I underestimated how folks tend to react to these old cars when you drive them. Kid especially seem to enjoy seeing them and hearing the horn. I took the car to church on Sunday, and we had a “meeting” in the parking lot after the meeting inside. It was hilarious.)

Thanks for the feedback. I plan to start by counting the clicks the next time I get an opportunity to work on the car. If reversing the number of clicks doesn’t leave me with good stopping power, I plan to do a deeper dive on brake adjustment.
