I`ve noticed lately that when I move my 37 out of the shop to work on something else the rear brakes are dragging in reverse. Forward is fine. Getting worse. Today I put it on the lift and sure enough the right rear would turn forward but not back. I loosened the adjustment some and the wheel would spin both directions. Backed it out and brakes are dragging still. Am I adjusting them wrong? Does the adjustment cam turn clockwise to tighten as I am doing? This not just a slight drag.. It seriously does not want to back up. Gotta use some rpm and clutch to get it to move. Thanks in advance for any help. Guess I need to buy a hub puller. Anyone recommend a source for a good one?
