Thanks for all the input.
Back off an additional click. Than test drive. If brakes are stopping well, but the drums are still hot. Back off one more click.

Our 29 under normal driving conditions, the drums are just warm not hot. This is a car that had a complete brake system overhaul less than 1,000 miles ago. Steel drums still on car. I have never had them HOT to the touch. I don’t drive over 45 MPH. Wheels will lock up if I really try hard.

Don’t panic. It’s a simple system. Your will get it right.

Enjoy.
