    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear brake adjustment lever

    Thanks, guess I will have to pull the drum again and turn around the adjuster wheel

    Looks like the picture John posted above plenty of space on the side to the left, but the diagrams showing what the picture shows on the right hand side of the picture

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear brake adjustment lever

    That is what I thought myself but you can not flip it over unless you put it on the primary brake shoe.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear brake adjustment lever

    I have been trying to figure out if I have this adjustment lever in the right spot as it does not make contact with the adjustment wheel no matter what I try. Not sure if it is supposed to be this way or not but I thought it was always supposed to make contact with the star wheel on the shoe...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Master cylinder bench bleed or not.

    I think I found my problem. The parking brake lever in the rear drum knocked the retaining lever to the star adjusting wheel off and I guess the adjuster backed off all the way off causing the shoes to have no adjustment. I can adjust them back up again but I am wondering about knocking the...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Master cylinder bench bleed or not.

    I just replaced my main seal on my hydro booster and had to disconnect the master cylinder lines. I hooked everything back together again with out bench bleeding the MC figuring my Motive power bleeder would take care of that. Filled everything up bled brakes and hydro boost but now I have a...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake hydro boost rebuild

    No I have not started because of the seals being the way they are. I want to do it and get it back out on the road in a day or less which is why I posted in the first place. Plus its kind of cold up here still.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Head light brightness

    I can see the difference when I hold the hi/low beam stick which is why I think it should work good but I was wondering about upgrading the bulbs too.

    I got mine on ebay too. Were the big seals sort of soft rubber and nothing else connected to the seals like a retaining spring or stiff collar around the seal

    Where did you get the Bosch seals from ? I have some aftermarket crap and I am not sure it will work

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Head light brightness

    I am going to order a brite box for 01 and was wondering if I should replace the bulbs too. Not sure what to get as far as bulbs but I do not want to blind people coming the other way with the low beams on like some of the blue bulbs do. Hard to see the road line here in WV on a dark night and I...
