    I just finished up installing my wheel cylinders. I set the car down and drove it up in down the driveway. But the pedal went down and after I pumped it again the brakes worked. But then it sounded like they were dragging . I am new to the original style brakes so any help would be greatley appreciated. Thanks
     
  2. Look on Mac VanPelts site for a "how to" it might be there. The bottom adjusters are only to center the shoes in the drum after new shoes are installed. From there on the upper are adj. for shoe wear. If you can't find anything, P.M. me tomorrow, I have it in a service manuel at work, I could fax the pages to you. Mike
