A manual adjustment of the rear brakes is required after replacing the linings.

1. Remove the knockout area in the backing plate.
2. Turn the adjusting screws until the wheels can just be turned by hand. The brake drag should be equal at both wheels.
3. Loosen the adjusting screws 24 notches.

Important: The brake should not drag after loosening the screw 12 notches. If a heavy drag is present, refer to Park Brake Cable Inspection in Park Brake.

4. Install an adjusting hole cover in the backing plate.
5. Check the park brake adjustment. Refer to Park Brake Cable Service/Adjustment in Park Brake.
