Default Re: brake adjustment

Rods are adjusted to remove actuation play. The brake stick is used only after all four wheels are off the ground, the car is in neutral with e brake released. It’s not necessary to use the four notch method, just apply firm pressure to the brake pedal. Once this is done turn each front wheel by hand and use the adjuster to match the “drag” then do the same on the rear but create a heavier drag than the front.Next is skid test, rears should skid evenly ( eyeball the skid marks) front should pull down straight and not skid. Tweak the adjusters slightly to even the skid marks or to tune a “pull” out of the front…
