Re: Brake shoe centering instructions
I never quite understood the track bending thing either.The tracks have to rise up evenly,like an elevator.If you bend them,just the ends rise up.When that wedge pushes the shoe outward,it has to go straight out.With a bent track isn't the shoe going to rise up?That track isn't something that lends itself to bending either.Actually,I've found that after installing new tracks the shoes have been nearly perfectly centered.I put the brake dokter on,adjust the shoes to the drum size using the Barrett micrometer that comes in the kit,and find I need to trim off almost no material.
