Get a copy of 1939 and 1940 engine & chassis repair manual. It is available from several venders and covers brake adjustment .

Re: Proper way to adjust brakes
Here you go: Shows brake adjustment and E-brake adjustment. To maintain the 25 pound adjustment pressure on the brake pedal I place a clean towel and a clean piece of clean plywood against the front of the seat bottom and a bathroom scale wedged between the plywood and the brake pedal with a length of 2 x 4..
Last photo is to clarify brake shoe orientation difference between Lockheed and Bendix. Last edited by 19Fordy; 12-14-2020 at 10:12 AM. |
