Of course you wedged should already have been set with clevis ends disconnected.

Having done all the above correctly you should be able to adjust the brakes properly.
My number is in the Model a News in my ad. Contact me if you can’t get satisfactory results.

Concur; just finished a job with the graduated brake stick from pedal to seat frame, 1 person job, jackstands under axles as close to wheels as possible.
