Re: Front brake adjustment
With the brake rods disconnected, I adjust the front brakes untill they lock, then back off untill they just turn free. Pull the lever back by hand untill free movement at the lever is removed. Adjust the clevis on the brake rod untill the clevis pin will just enter the hole on the brake lever. This will have the brake shoes ready to expand when you push the pedal. If you are trying to adjust the brake rods to an exact length like a certain mechanics hand book says, that is your problem. All slack has to be removed at the brake rod connection or the brakes will be poor or NO brakes at all.
