Brake Job ???
Hi guys I need to adj. my brakes, 1st time doing so, do i need to disconnect all the rods or can i just adj. each wheel . the manuel says to jack up the rear wheels and adj. the adjusting nut at the rear then go to the front and do the same. there is no mention of using the brake tool as mentioned in some videos . I dont have the wooden brake tool, if i need one how can i make one of my own? I have the car jacked up on 4 wheel stands on a lift. its a 31 roadster. some help here would be greatly appreciated. thanks THE HOOCH

Re: Brake Job ???
Adjusting to compensate for normal wear, adjust each wheel individually. Jack each wheel off of the ground. Screw in the adjusting wedges until you feel the same amount of drag on each wheel. Drag should be slight.
Once set to the factory length, there should be no reason to adjust the brake rods except for a total overhaul of the brake system.
