KLS,
I haven't pulled a wheel and brake drum yet to check out the parking brake setup but keep thinking I will someday. I'm still on all original brake parts at 81,000 miles so I am somewhat reluctant to change anything I am doing at the moment! I don't normally use the parking brake, maybe a dozen times since new. I know it doesn't really make sense. I drive VERY conservatively.
My question(s): If you use the parking brake everytime, how does it not get adujusted too tightly. "How" does the adjuster know when the brakes are adjusted correctly, and not adjust further? Is it like the old style adjuster that adjusted when you backed up and stepped on the brakes. Do you think I should use it like a 1000 times in a row now, or just keep doing what I've been doing, even though it makes no sense?
Happy Hauling,
Doug
