Bendix Brakes Question

[V8 Bob]

Start by making sure shoes are properly adjusted, and the jack stands are under the rear axle to simulate ride height. Center the shoes by hand with the backing plates, and adjust the cables so there is very little movement of the upper struts when pushed against their springs. The use of a large screw driver will help make sure the cables are fully retracted during the adjustment by prying on the park lever, pulling any slack out of the cable. Alternate a couple of times side to side to ensure a good adjustment for each brake.
