T B lots of slack in the right actuating arm front. To remove all the slack makes the arm straight up and down, however the book calls for 15%. Any comment please anyone..

Have you read Andrews’s chapter on brakes in his red book yet?

You said you had it, I believe. Many of your questions are addressed there, along with step by step instructions.

If the rods are worn down, then I'd buy new ones.
That's all it took to make my levers slant forward at 15*.
1 or 2 pills in the wedge can also make the lever slant forward.
